Isaiah 57:17-21

17I was angry with them because they were greedy, which was a sin. So I punished them. I was angry and I turned away from them. But they still refused to obey me. They continued to do what they wanted to do.

18I have seen what they are doing. But I will make them well again. I will be a guide for them, and I will comfort them again. Then people who are sad and they are weeping

19will sing songs to praise me! I will give them a reason to do that. I will bring peace to all my people, those who are far away, and those who are near. Yes, I will make them completely well again.’ That is what the Lord says.

20‘But wicked people are like a rough sea with dangerous waves. It cannot stay still. Its waves throw up mud and dirt.

21There will never be peace for wicked people.’ That is what my God says.
