Verse of the Day: ‘peace to the far and the near’

posted by gp_editor | 9:35am Tuesday October 16, 2007

I have seen their ways, but I will heal them; I will lead them and repay them with comfort, creating for their mourners the fruit of the lips. Peace, peace, to the far and the near, says the Lord; and I will heal them. But the wicked are like the tossing sea that cannot keep still; its waters toss up mire and mud. There is no peace, says my God, for the wicked.
- Isaiah 57:18-21
