When King Jehoshaphat of Judah returned home safely to Jerusalem,

And you will know that your home will be secure, and when you inspect your domains, you will not be missing anything.

Their houses are safe and without fear; and no rod of punishment from God is upon them.

Turn away from evil and do what is right! Strive for peace and promote it!

But the oppressed will possess the land and enjoy great prosperity.

Take note of the one who has integrity! Observe the godly! For the one who promotes peace has a future.

May their dining table become a trap before them! May it be a snare for that group of friends!

During his days the godly will flourish; peace will prevail as long as the moon remains in the sky.

Loyal love and faithfulness meet; deliverance and peace greet each other with a kiss.

Those who love your law are completely secure; nothing causes them to stumble.

For too long I have had to reside with those who hate peace.

For the sake of my brothers and my neighbors I will say, “May there be peace in you!”

for they will provide a long and full life, and they will add well-being to you.

Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil, but those who promote peace have joy.

A time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.

My people will live in peaceful settlements, in secure homes, and in safe, quiet places.

Look, ambassadors cry out in the streets; messengers sent to make peace weep bitterly.

He pursues them and passes by unharmed; he advances with great speed.

All your children will be followers of the Lord, and your children will enjoy great prosperity.

Those who live uprightly enter a place of peace; they rest on their beds.
