Isaiah 32:17

And the work of righteousness, the condition which is produced by the application of the Lord's righteousness in all the affairs of the Church, shall be peace, a security resting upon the foundation of God's protection; and the effect of righteousness, its reward, quietness and assurance forever, a firm reliance upon the mercy and grace of the Lord.
