¹⁷ Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman.

²⁶ Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.

¹⁷ The work of righteousness will be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.

¹⁸ My people will live in a peaceful habitation, in safe dwellings, and in quiet resting places.
