Isaiah 57:15-17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
15 [a]For thus says the high and lofty One,
the One who dwells forever, whose name is holy:
I dwell in a high and holy place,
but also with the contrite and lowly of spirit,
To revive the spirit of the lowly,
to revive the heart of the crushed.
16 For I will not accuse forever,
nor always be angry;
For without me their spirit fails,
the life breath that I have given.(A)
17 Because of their wicked avarice I grew angry;
I struck them, hiding myself from them in wrath.
But they turned back, following the way
of their own heart.(B)
Footnotes
- 57:15 The God of Israel is presented in both a transcendent and an immanent manner. God’s holiness is the transcendent quality; the immanence is shown in the choice of dwelling among the downtrodden and humble.

New International Version
Isaiah 57:15-17
New International Version
15 For this is what the high and exalted(A) One says—
he who lives forever,(B) whose name is holy:
“I live in a high(C) and holy place,
but also with the one who is contrite(D) and lowly in spirit,(E)
to revive the spirit of the lowly
and to revive the heart of the contrite.(F)
16 I will not accuse(G) them forever,
nor will I always be angry,(H)
for then they would faint away because of me—
the very people(I) I have created.
17 I was enraged by their sinful greed;(J)
I punished them, and hid(K) my face in anger,
yet they kept on in their willful ways.(L)
