Isaiah 57:15-19
Lexham English Bible
15 For thus says the high and lofty one who resides forever, and whose name is holy:
“I reside in a high and holy place,
and with the contrite[a] and humble of spirit,
to revive the spirit of the humble,
and to revive the heart of the contrite.[b]
16 For I will not attack forever,
and I will not be angry forever,
for the spirit will grow faint before me,
and the breaths that I myself I have made.
17 I was angry because of his sin of gain, and I struck him;
I hid and I was angry, but[c] he walked apostate, in the ways[d] of his heart.
18 I have seen his ways, but[e] I will heal him;
and I will lead him and give him and his mourners comfort as a recompense,
19 creating fruit of lips.
Peace, peace to the far and near,” says Yahweh, “and I will heal him.
