Jehovah stated to his ancient people: “O if only you would actually pay attention to my commandments! Then your peace would become just like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea. ”
יהוה אמר לעמו הקדום: ” לוּא הקשבת למצוותיי, ויהי כנהר שלומך, וצדקתך כגלי הים ” (‏ ישעיהו מ ” ח: 18‏).
