Isaiah 57:14-16

14The Lord says, ‘Build a road! Make it ready for my people to travel on! Remove everything that would cause them to fall.’

15The Mighty God is far higher than all others. He rules from above and he lives for ever. His name is holy. He says, ‘I live in a high and holy place. But I am also with anyone who is humble and who is sorry when he does wrong things. I will comfort people who are like that, and I will give them hope.

16I will not always speak against my people. I will not be angry with them for ever. I do not want them to lose hope completely. I myself gave life to them.
