Isaiah 57:13-20

13When thou criest, let them that thou hast gathered deliverH5337 thee; but the windH7307 shall takeH3947 them, a breathH7307 shall carryH5375 them all awayH5375: but he that taketh refugeH2620 in me shall possessH3423 the landH776, and shall inheritH5157 my holyH6944 mountainH2022.

14And he will sayH559, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the wayH1870, takeH7311 up the stumbling-block out of the wayH1870 of my peopleH5971. 15For thusH3541 saith the highH4791 and loftyH7311 OneH6918 that inhabiteth eternity, whose nameH8034 is HolyH6918: I dwellH7931 in the highH4791 and holyH6918 place, with him also that is of a contriteH1792 and humble spiritH7307, to revive the spiritH7307 of the humble, and to revive the heartH3820 of the contriteH1792. 16For I will not contendH7378 for everH5769, neither will I be always wroth; for the spiritH7307 would faint before me, and the souls that I have madeH6213. 17For the iniquityH5771 of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him; I hidH5641 my face and was wroth; and he went on backsliding in the wayH1870 of his heartH3820. 18I have seenH7200 his waysH1870, and will healH7495 him: I will leadH5148 him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mournersH57. 19I createH1254 the fruit of the lipsH8193: PeaceH7965, peaceH7965, to him that is farH7350 off and to him that is near, saith Jehovah; and I will healH7495 him. 20But the wickedH7563 are like the troubled seaH3220; for it cannot rest, and its watersH4325 cast up mire and dirt.
