Man's Relation to the Lower Animals
Isaiah 11:6-9
The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid…


The practical "uses" of such a passage of Scripture as this are plain. Some of them are the awful responsibility of man's position as the keystone of creation, the material effects of sin, and especially the religiousness of our relation to the lower animals.

(Prof. O. A. Smith, D. D.)
