Ours is a great city, one of the most peaceful and loyal in Israel. Why are you trying to destroy it? Do you want to ruin what belongs to the Lord?”

“Happy are those who work for peace; God will call them his children!
Do everything possible on your part to live in peace with everybody.
Try to be at peace with everyone, and try to live a holy life, because no one will see the Lord without it.
