Isaiah 32
v.8
But the noble man makes noble plans, and by noble deeds he stands.
If a man wishes to obtain permanent peace and honor, the esteem of his fellow-men, or the evidence of divine approbation, it can be best done by large and liberal schemes to advance the happiness of a dying world. He who is avaricious and narrow-minded has no happiness, and no durable reputation; he who is large-hearted and benevolent, has the approbation of the wise and good, the favor of God, and a firm and unshaken support in the trials of life, and in the agonies of death.
v.17
The fruit of righteousness will be peace; the effect of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever.
