peace
For now I would have lain still and been quiet,I would have been asleep;Then I would have been at rest
Who is he who will contend with me?If now I hold my tongue, I perish.
Should your empty talk make men hold their peace?And when you mock, should no one rebuke you?
I am not at ease, nor am I quiet;I have no rest, for trouble comes.”
For you shall have a covenant with the stones of the field,And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.
You shall know that your tent is in peace;You shall visit your dwelling and find nothing amiss.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:“May they prosper who love you.
He who is devoid of wisdom despises his neighbor,But a man of understanding holds his peace.
Her ways are ways of pleasantness,And all her paths are peace.
Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil,But counselors of peace have joy.
