Commentary

 

Lion eating straw

  

In Isaiah 11:6-7, the phrase 'the lion shall eat straw like an ox', signifies that hellish falsity shall not hurt the affection of good pertaining to the natural man. Straw signifies the Word in the letter, which is perverted by hellish falsity but cannot be perverted by people who are in truths from good. (Apocalypse Explained 781)
