Pleasant

The nation of Israel is the vineyard of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. The people of Judah are his pleasant garden. He expected a crop of justice, but instead he found oppression. He expected to find righteousness, but instead he heard cries of violence.

Who say to the seers, "You must not see visions";And to the prophets, "You must not prophesy to us what is right, Speak to us pleasant words, Prophesy illusions.

"Whether it is pleasant or unpleasant, we will listen to the voice of the LORD our God to whom we are sending you, so that it may go well with us when we listen to the voice of the LORD our God."


Yes, I will give them good pastureland on the high hills of Israel. There they will lie down in pleasant places and feed in the lush pastures of the hills.

For My yoke is wholesome (useful, good--not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant), and My burden is light and easy to be borne.

Let your speech at all times be gracious (pleasant and winsome), seasoned [as it were] with salt, [so that you may never be at a loss] to know how you ought to answer anyone [who puts a question to you].

Isaiah 5:7 Isaiah 30:10 Jeremiah 42:6 Ezekiel 34:14 Matthew 11:30 Colossians 4:6

Keep eternity’s goal in sight by walking daily in God’s light.
