peace

Leviticus 26:3-13 (New Century Version) 3 If you remember my laws and commands and obey them, 4 I will give you rains at the right season; the land will produce crops, and the trees of the field will produce their fruit. 5 Your threshing will continue until the grape harvest, and your grape harvest will continue until it is time to plant. Then you will have plenty to eat and live safely in your land. 6 I will give peace to your country; you will lie down in peace, and no one will make you afraid. I will keep harmful animals out of your country, and armies will not pass through it. 7 You will chase your enemies and defeat them, killing them with your sword. 8 Five of you will chase a hundred men; a hundred of you will chase ten thousand men. You will defeat your enemies and kill them with your sword. 9 Then I will show kindness to you and let you have many children; I will keep my agreement with you. 10 You will have enough crops to last for more than a year. When you harvest the newcrops, you will have to throw out the old ones to make room for them. 11 Also I will place my Holy Tent among you, and I will not turn away from you. 12 I will walk with you and be your God, and you will be my people. 13 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, where you were slaves. I broke the heavy weights that were on your shoulders and let you walk proudly again.

Job 22:20-22 (New Century Version) 20 Surely our enemies are destroyed, and fire burns up their wealth. 21 Obey God and be at peace with him; this is the way to happiness. 22 Accept teaching from his mouth, and keep his words in your heart.

Psalm 4:7-8 (New Century Version) 7 But you have made me very happy, happier than they are, even with all their grain and new wine. 8 I go to bed and sleep in peace, because, Lord, only you keep me safe.

Psalm 29:10-11 (New Century Version) 10 The Lord controls the flood. The Lord will be King forever. 11 The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.

Psalm 34:13-15 (Contemporary English Version) 13 Then don't say cruel things and don't tell lies. 14 Do good instead of evil and try to live at peace. 15 If you obey the LORD, he will watch over you and answer your prayers.

Psalm 85:7-8 (Contemporary English Version) 7 Show us your love and save us! 8 I will listen to you, LORD God, because you promise peace to those who are faithful and no longer foolish.
