Isaiah 57:14-19

14He said, “Build it up, build it up, prepare the way, remove every obstacle from my people’s way.”

15For the High and Exalted One, who lives forever, whose name is holy, says this: “I live in a high and holy place, and with the oppressed and lowly of spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and revive the heart of the oppressed.

16For I will not accuse you forever, and I will not always be angry; for then the spirit would grow weak before me, even the breath, which I have made.

17Because of his sinful greed I was angry, so I struck him; I was angry and hid; but he went on turning back to the desires of his heart.

18I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will lead him and restore comfort to him and his mourners,

19creating words of praise.” The Lord says, “Peace, peace to the one who is far or near, and I will heal him.
