9 So there is a special rest* still waiting for the people of God. 10 For all who have entered into God’s rest have rested from their labors, just as God did after creating the world.

13 "Keep the Sabbath day holy.

Don’t pursue your own interests on that day,

but enjoy the Sabbath

and speak of it with delight as the Lord’s holy day.

Honor the Sabbath in everything you do on that day,

and don’t follow your own desires or talk idly.

14 Then the Lord will be your delight.

I will give you great honor

and satisfy you with the inheritance I promised to your ancestor Jacob.

I, the Lord, have spoken!"

31 So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

8 In peace I will lie down and sleep,

for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe.

5 I lay down and slept,

yet I woke up in safety,

for the Lord was watching over me.

2 It is useless for you to work so hard

from early morning until late at night,

anxiously working for food to eat;

for God gives rest to his loved ones.

5 Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,

nor the arrow that flies in the day.

24 You can go to bed without fear;

you will lie down and sleep soundly.

12 People who work hard sleep well, whether they eat little or much. But the rich seldom get a good night’s sleep.

18 Having hope will give you courage.

You will be protected and will rest in safety.

19 You will lie down unafraid,

and many will look to you for help.

2 For those who follow godly paths

will rest in peace when they die.
