Old TestamentIsaiahHealing for the Repentant · 57:14–2157:14 And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.57:15 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.57:16 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.57:17 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.57:18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.57:19 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.57:20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.57:21 There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
