And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lay down, and none shall make you afraid. And I will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land, nor shall the sword go through your land. And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand, and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. And I will have respect to you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and will establish my covenant with you.

For thou are a holy people to LORD thy God. LORD thy God has chosen thee to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples that are upon the face of the earth.

Why do ye spend money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy?
