O that there were such a heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children forever!

O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

Great peace have they who love your law: and nothing shall offend them.

But let justice run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.

For the kingdom of God is not food and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
