Judges 18:5-7
Young's Literal Translation
5 And they say to him, `Ask, we pray thee, at God, and we know whether our way is prosperous on which we are going.'
6 And the priest saith to them, `Go in peace; over-against Jehovah [is] your way in which ye go.'
7 And the five men go, and come in to Laish, and see the people which [is] in its midst, dwelling confidently, according to the custom of Zidonians, quiet and confident; and there is none putting to shame in the land in [any] thing, possessing restraint, and they [are] far off from the Zidonians, and have no word with [any] man.

New International Version
5 Then they said to him, “Please inquire of God(A) to learn whether our journey will be successful.”
6 The priest answered them, “Go in peace(B). Your journey has the Lord’s approval.”
7 So the five men(C) left and came to Laish,(D) where they saw that the people were living in safety, like the Sidonians, at peace and secure.(E) And since their land lacked nothing, they were prosperous.[a] Also, they lived a long way from the Sidonians(F) and had no relationship with anyone else.[b]
