Isaiah 57:14-16

New Living Translation

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.
