Judges 18:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ They said to him, “Please ask God if ·our journey [our mission; ^Lthe way we are going] will be successful.”

⁶ The priest said to them, “Go in peace. The Lord ·is pleased with [approves of; watches over] your journey.”

⁷ So the five men left. When they came to the city of Laish, they saw that the people there lived in safety, ·like [^Laccording to the custom of] the people of Sidon. They ·thought they were safe [were quiet and secure/unsuspecting] and ·had plenty of everything [or no ruler was humiliating them]. They lived a long way from the Sidonians and had no dealings with anyone else.
