Ezekiel 13:10 Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter: Shalom is here translated as "peace," and it is also used for "hello" and "goodby." It literally means "completeness," or "complete soundness." How many in the Church are pillow prophets telling their people, "You're all set." "There is nothing to press on towards." Their people follow them into a lukewarm Christianity. They will do anything but hear and obey the voice of Jesus. 07965 shalowm shaw-lome' or shalom shaw-lome' from 07999, Greek 4539 σαλωμη; n m; {See TWOT on 2401 @@ "2401a"} AV-peace 175, well 14, peaceably 9, welfare 5, salute + 07592 4, prosperity 4, did 3, safe 3, health 2, peaceable 2, misc 15; 236 1) completeness, soundness, welfare, peace 1a) completeness (in number) 1b) safety, soundness (in body) 1c) welfare, health, prosperity 1d) peace, quiet, tranquillity, contentment 1e) peace, friendship 1e1) of human relationships 1e2) with God especially in covenant relationship 1f) peace (from war) 1g) peace (as adjective)
