Isaiah 57
14 Ref And he will say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.
15 Ref 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.
16 Ref For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls that I have made.
17 Ref For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him; I hid `my face' and was wroth; and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.
18 Ref I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.
19 Ref I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him that is far off and to him that is near, saith Jehovah; and I will heal him.
20 Ref But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it cannot rest, and its waters cast up mire and dirt.
