PEACE FOR THE RIGHTEOUS

The fruit of righteousness 
is sown in peace 
for those who cultivate peace. 
James 3:18


The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no torment will ever touch them. In the eyes of the foolish they seemed to have died, and their departure was thought to be an affliction, and their going from us to be their destruction; but they are at peace. -- Wisdom 3: 1-3

O Lord, you mete out peace to us, for it is you who have accomplished all we have done. - Isaiah 26:12

We conceived and writhed in pain, giving birth to wind. Salvation we have not achieved for the earth, the inhabitants of the world cannot bring it forth. But your dead shall live, their corpses shall rise; awake and sing, you who lie in the dust. For your dew is a dew of light, and the land of shades gives birth. - Isaiah 26:18-19
