God Forgives the Repentant
14 God says, “Rebuild the road!
Clear away the rocks and stones
so my people can return from captivity.”
15 The high and lofty one who lives in eternity,
the Holy One, says this:
“I live in the high and holy place
with those whose spirits are contrite and humble.
I restore the crushed spirit of the humble
and revive the courage of those with repentant hearts.
16 For I will not fight against you forever;
I will not always be angry.
If I were, all people would pass away—
all the souls I have made.

Clothe yourself with strength.
Put on your beautiful clothes, O holy city of Jerusalem,

Sit in a place of honor.
Remove the chains of slavery from your neck,
O captive daughter of Zion.
