Judges 5:31 (NAS)
Thus let all Thine enemies perish, O LORD; But let those who love Him be like the rising of the sun in its might." And the land was undisturbed for forty years.

Judges 5:31 (NRSV)
So perish all your enemies, O LORD! But may your friends be like the sun as it rises in its might." And the land had rest forty years.

The Lord Jehovah is never concerned over His enemies. He knows that His foes, those that are hostile to Him, will ultimately perish. They will all come under His divine judgment; all will be exterminated and vanish from His sight.

However, those that love the Lord have a different destiny awaiting them. Jehovah's friends are like the rising of the sun. They shine with the glory of the Lord. They go forth in strength and power. Their bravery and valor show the mighty deeds of God.

Adonai gives His loved ones peace and tranquility. They are quiet and undisturbed, since the Lord God has already vanquished their enemies. His beloved live in safety. And you are His Beloved!
