6 Bible Verses about Freedom From Violence

The violence of the wicked will [return to them and] drag them away [like fish caught in a net],
Because they refuse to act with justice.

“Do not let a slanderer be established in the earth;
Let evil quickly hunt the violent man [to overthrow him and stop his evil acts].”

His mischief will return on his own head,
And his violence will come down on the top of his head [like loose dirt].

“Violence will not be heard again in your land,
Nor devastation or destruction within your borders;
But you will call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise [to God].

“You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue,
And you will not be afraid of destruction when it comes.

Although there is no violence or wrongdoing in my hands,
And my prayer is pure.
