8 et delectabitur infans ab ubere super foramine aspidis et in caverna reguli qui ablactatus fuerit manum suam mittet

Isaiah 11:8 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 11:8

And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp,
&c.] Without fear or danger: and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice's den;
and suffer no damage: the meaning is explained in the next words, and to be understood of regenerate persons, both of new born babes, or just born, and all such who are weaned from their own righteousness, and live by faith on Christ, who shall not be hurt by the poison of false teachers, nor by the force of violent persecutors, now no more, (See Gill on Isaiah 11:6).

Isaiah 11:8 In-Context

6 habitabit lupus cum agno et pardus cum hedo accubabit vitulus et leo et ovis simul morabuntur et puer parvulus minabit eos
7 vitulus et ursus pascentur simul requiescent catuli eorum et leo quasi bos comedet paleas
8 et delectabitur infans ab ubere super foramine aspidis et in caverna reguli qui ablactatus fuerit manum suam mittet
9 non nocebunt et non occident in universo monte sancto meo quia repleta est terra scientia Domini sicut aquae maris operientes
10 in die illa radix Iesse qui stat in signum populorum ipsum gentes deprecabuntur et erit sepulchrum eius gloriosum
