Isaiah 57:13-20
13When you cry out, 1let your collection of idols deliver you. But the wind will carry all of them up, And a breath will take them away. But he who 2takes refuge in Me will 3inherit the land And will 4possess My holy mountain.”
14And it will be said, “5Build up, build up, prepare the way, Remove every obstacle out of the way of My people.”15For thus says the 6high and exalted One Who 78lives forever, whose name is Holy, “I 9dwell on a high and holy place, And also with the 10contrite and lowly of spirit In order to 11revive the spirit of the lowly And to revive the heart of the contrite.16For I will 12not contend forever, 13Nor will I always be angry; For the spirit would grow faint before Me, And the 14breath of those whom I have made.17Because of the iniquity of his 15unjust gain I was angry and struck him; I hid My face and was angry, And he went on 16turning away, in the way of his heart.18I have seen his ways, but I will 17heal him; I will 18lead him and 19restore comfort to him and to his mourners,19Creating the 2021praise of the lips. 22Peace, peace to him who is 23far and to him who is near,” Says the Lord, “and I will heal him.”20But the 24wicked are like the tossing sea, For it cannot be quiet, And its waters toss up refuse and mud.
