Isaiah 35:9

No lion shall be there, the lion being named as one of the fiercest representatives of the animal world, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon; it shall not be found there, every one who walks on this way being under the special protection of God; but the redeemed shall walk there, those who have accepted the redemption of God in Christ Jesus and rely upon it in firm faith.
