23 Let all that is by the order+ of the God of the heavens be done with zeal+ for the house of the God of the heavens,+ that there may occur no wrath against the king’s realm and his sons.+

7 Also, seek the peace of the city to which I have caused YOU to go into exile, and pray in its behalf to Jehovah, for in its peace there will prove to be peace for YOU yourselves.+

2 concerning kings+ and all those who are in high station;+ in order that we may go on leading a calm and quiet life with full godly devotion* and seriousness.+
