Isaiah 57:14-21
Healing for the Repentant
14 And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.
14:
15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name [is] Holy; I dwell in the high and holy [place], with him also [that is] of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
15:
16 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls [which] I have made.
16:
17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.
17:
18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.
18:
19 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to [him that is] far off, and to [him that is] near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him.
19:
20 But the wicked [are] like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
20:
21 [There is] no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
21:
