Isaiah 57:18-20

New International Reader's Version

¹⁸ I have seen what they have done.
    But I will heal them.
I will guide them.
    I will give those who mourn in Israel the comfort they had before.
¹⁹     Then they will praise me.
I will give perfect peace to those who are far away and those who are near.
    And I will heal them,” says the Lord.
²⁰ But those who are evil are like the rolling sea.
    It never rests.
    Its waves toss up mud and sand.
