- The noun for peace, prosperity, or quietness, directly shown in the prayer for "peace within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces" (Psalm 122:7), the preference for "a dry morsel and quietness" over strife-filled feasting (Proverbs 17:1), and the LORD's reminder that He once spoke to Judah's king "in your prosperity" (Jeremiah 22:21); the sampled citations at Psalm 30:7 and Proverbs 1:32 do not themselves clearly show the word, describing dismay and the complacency of fools instead.
