Leviticus 26:6 (KJ21)
And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid; and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.

Leviticus 26:6 (NAS)
I shall also grant peace in the land, so that you may lie down with no one making you tremble. I shall also eliminate harmful beasts from the land, and no sword will pass through your land.

Leviticus 26:6 (NIVUS)
I will grant peace in the land, and you will lie down and no one will make you afraid. I will remove savage beasts from the land, and the sword will not pass through your country.

Leviticus 26:6 (NLT)
I will give you peace in the land, and you will be able to sleep without fear. I will remove the wild animals from your land and protect you from your enemies.

There are some things in life that are real commodities, but most of us take these very valuable things for granted. If someone would ask you what is important, you would probably say your family and friends; perhaps you would say your job or your home. All of these are things that matter and you should be thankful for them. However, there are deeper and more eternal values that you, like everyone else, need.

Jehovah the Lord wants to give you more than you can imagine. He wants to complete your life, so that you are sound and full of peace. Your welfare, health, and prosperity are uppermost in His thoughts toward you. Through the covenant relationship that Adonai has established with you, you can have quiet tranquility and contentment. Lying down in rest and relaxation is something that you can experience on a daily basis, as you learn to cast your cares on the Lord your God.

Your trust in God will keep you from terror and fear. You will not tremble, quake, or move anxiously about. Almighty God will exterminate and destroy anything evil or malignant that tries to attack you. He does not want you sad, unhappy, or hurt in any way. Those who are wicked will not be able to injure, break, or shatter you. No living thing, whether man or beast, will be able to harm you. They will be unable to raise their swords or knives to lay you waste, leaving you desolate or in ruins. The Most High God will keep you safe and secure in your land and you will finish your course in wholeness.
