Isaiah 57:15-17

New King James Version

¹⁵ For thus says the High and Lofty One
Who inhabits eternity, ^(A)whose name is Holy:
^(B)“I dwell in the high and holy place,
^(C)With him who has a contrite and humble spirit,
^(D)To revive the spirit of the humble,
And to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
^16 (E)For I will not contend forever,
Nor will I always be angry;
For the spirit would fail before Me,
And the souls ^(F)which I have made.
¹⁷ For the iniquity of ^(G)his covetousness
I was angry and struck him;
^(H)I hid and was angry,
^(I)And he went on ^[a]backsliding in the way of his heart.
