Isaiah 57:15-17

International Standard Version

¹⁵ “For this is what the high and lofty One says,
    who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy:
“He lives^[a] in the height and in holiness,^[b]
    and also with the one who is of a contrite and humble spirit,
to revive the spirit of the humble,
    and to revive the heart of the contrite.
¹⁶ For I won’t accuse forever,
    nor will I always be angry;
for then the human spirit would grow faint before me—
    even the souls that I have created.
¹⁷ Because of his wicked greed I was angry,
    so I punished him;
and^[c] I hid my face, and was angry—
    but he kept turning back to his stubborn will.^[d]
