Isaiah 57:15–21

15  For thus saith the high and lofty One

That inhabiteth neternity, owhose name is Holy;

I dwell pin the high and qholy place,

rWith him also that is of a contrite and shumble spirit,

tTo revive the spirit of the humble,

And to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

16  uFor I will not contend for ever,

Neither will I be always wroth:

For vthe spirit wshould fail before me,

And vthe souls xwhich I have made.

17  For the iniquity of yhis covetousness yywas I wroth, and smote him:

zI hid me, and was wroth,

And he went on †frowardly in the way of his heart.

18  I have seen his ways, and awill heal him:

I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to bhis mourners.

19  I create cthe fruit of the lips;

dePeace, peace fto him that is gfar off, and fto him that is near, saith the Lord;

And aI will heal him.

20  But hthe wicked are like the troubled sea,

When it cannot rest,

Whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

21  iThere is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
