wolf and lamb
Unlikely peaceful pairing
Wolf and lamb pairs natural enemies to evoke vulnerability alongside predation.
The phrase often alludes to the biblical prophecy of peaceful coexistence: The wolf shall dwell with the lamb.
It describes unlikely harmony between powerful and weak parties, or situations where the vulnerable are exposed to danger: Sending her into that boardroom was like throwing a lamb to the wolves.
