Isaiah 57:13-20

13When you cryH2199 out, 1let your collectionH6899 of idols deliverH5337 you. But the windH7307 will carryH5375 allH3605 of them up, And a breathH1892 will takeH3947 them away. But he who 2takesH2620 refugeH2620 in Me will 3inheritH5157 the landH776 And will 4possessH3423 My holyH6944 mountainH2022.”

14And it will be saidH559, “5BuildH5549 up, buildH5549 up, prepareH6437 the wayH1870, RemoveH7311 every obstacleH4383 out of the wayH1870 of My peopleH5971.”15For thusH3541 saysH559 the 6highH7311 and exaltedH5375 One Who 78livesH7931 foreverH5703, whose nameH8034 is HolyH6918, “I 9dwellH7931 on a highH4791 and holyH6918 place, And also with the 10contriteH1793 and lowlyH8217 of spiritH7307 In order to 11reviveH2421 the spiritH7307 of the lowlyH8217 And to reviveH2421 the heartH3820 of the contriteH1792.16For I will 12not contendH7378 foreverH5769, 13NorH3808 will I alwaysH5331 be angryH7107; For the spiritH7307 would growH5848 faintH5848 beforeH4480H6440 Me, And the 14breathH5397 of those whom I have madeH6213.17Because of the iniquityH5771 of his 15unjustH1215 gainH1215 I was angryH7107 and struckH5221 him; I hidH5641 My face and was angryH7107, And he wentH1980 on 16turningH7726 awayH7726, in the wayH1870 of his heartH3820.18I have seenH7200 his waysH1870, but I will 17healH7495 him; I will 18leadH5148 him and 19restoreH7999 comfortH5150 to him and to his mournersH57,19CreatingH1254 the 2021praiseH5108 of the lipsH8193. 22PeaceH7965, peaceH7965 to him who is 23farH7350 and to him who is nearH7138,” SaysH559 the LordH3068, “and I will healH7495 him.”20But the 24wickedH7563 are like the tossingH1644 seaH3220, For it cannotH3201H3808 be quietH8252, And its watersH4325 tossH1644 up refuseH7516 and mudH2916.
