Psalms 119:155

¹⁷He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near. ¹⁸For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

⁴His children are far from safety. They are crushed in the gate. Neither is there any to deliver them,

¹¹There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God.

⁷The fear of the LORD ^[+] is the beginning of knowledge, but the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.

²⁴He cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue! For I am in anguish in this flame.’

¹²Listen to me, you stubborn-hearted, who are far from righteousness!

²⁷For you will save the afflicted people, but the arrogant eyes you will bring down.

¹⁹I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him who is far off and to him who is near,” says the LORD; “and I will heal them.”

⁴The wicked, in the pride of his face, has no room in his thoughts for God.

^14[+] They tell God, ‘Depart from us, for we don’t want to know about your ways. ¹⁵What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? What profit should we have, if we pray to him?’
