Behold, their valiant ones cry aloud in the streets; the envoys of peace weep bitterly.

Instead of bronze I will bring you gold; I will bring silver in place of iron, bronze instead of wood, and iron instead of stones. I will appoint peace as your governor and righteousness as your ruler.

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Peacemakers who sow in peace reap the fruit of righteousness.
