"The Bible" Micah IV: 3-4 & Matthew Book V: 9

And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off;

and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks:
nation shall not lift up a sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war any more.
But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree;
and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken it.

－Micah IV: 3-4

Happy are the peacemakers:

for they will be named sons of God.

－Book of Matthew V: 9
