Isaiah 65:25

The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord.
23

They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the Lord, and their offspring with them.

24

And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

25

The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord.

Destruction / Perishing Language

The verse explicitly states, "They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain," which is a direct negation of destruction. Instead, it describes a state of peace and harmony.

Restoration of Creation

The verse describes a future state of peace among animals and the absence of harm, but it does not explicitly mention a "new heavens and new earth" or the "reversal of the curse" on a cosmic scale, which are elements of the broader "Restoration of Creation" theme.
