ChatGPT on Bing is giving me is strange, passive aggressive responses and appears "unwilling" to give be honest answers. Do any of these quotes exist? Bing has be sending me on multiple goose chases for the past 30 minutes or so. It seems like it's telling me what I want to hear, instead of actually being helpful. These quotes aren't surprising, so I wouldn't be surprised if they exist somewhere, by someone. However, they might be just fake. My search isn't limited to Young's 3 volume commentary on Isaiah. I cannot check his commentary as I have not bought it. I would like to know ahead of time whether these quotes exist before I buy it.

 "The animals are the Lord's, and He has given them to man for his use. Man, however, is not to abuse this gift, but to exercise a wise and compassionate dominion over the animal creation" (Commentary on Isaiah, vol. 1, p. 88)³.

"The present state of enmity between man and beast, and between beast and beast, is not the original and normal one, but is the result of sin. In the day of the Lord, however, this will be changed, and the original order will be restored" (Commentary on Isaiah, vol. 1, p. 388)³.

"The animals of the Old Testament sacrifices were types of Christ, who offered Himself as the one perfect sacrifice for sin. The animals also served as symbols of various aspects of Christ's person and work, such as His meekness, His majesty, and His victory over the devil" (Commentary on Isaiah, vol. 2, p. 156)³.

 “God is the source of all life, and He alone gives life to all living creatures. He gives to each creature the breath of life, and thus each creature is dependent upon Him for its very existence.” [1, p. 36]


“God’s covenant with Noah was not merely a covenant with Noah as an individual, but it was a covenant with Noah and his descendants and with every living creature. God thus showed His interest in the animal creation, and His concern for its preservation.”


“Animals are not mere things, to be used and abused at the whim of man. They are God’s creatures, and He has given them a place and a function in His creation. They are to be treated with respect and kindness, and not to be harmed or destroyed unnecessarily.”

 “Animals are not mere machines, devoid of intelligence and feeling. They have a certain measure of understanding and emotion, and they can express themselves in various ways. They can also communicate with God and praise Him, as the psalmist says, ‘Let everything that has breath praise the Lord’ (Psalm 150:6).”

John 3:17 (ESV)
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
