No lion shall be there, nor [any] ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk [there]:
Ver. 9. No lion shall be there.] The devil, that roaring lion, nor his actuaries, tyrants and heretics, shall haunt these holy highways. God will preserve his people from all devoratory evils, as Tertullian calleth them, 2Th 3:3 "that wicked one, the devil, shall not once touch them," 1Jn 5:18 so as to thrust his deadly sting into them.
