Isaiah 57:16 CPDV

¹⁴  And I will say: 'Make way! Grant passage! Move to the side of the path! Take the obstacles out of the way of my people!'

¹⁵  For this is said by the Most High, the Sublime One, who dwells in eternity. And his name is Holy, for he dwells in the exalted and holy place, and he acts with a restrained and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

¹⁶  For I will not contend unceasingly, and I will not be angry to the end. For I will exhale my breath, and the Spirit will go forth from my face.

¹⁷  Because of the iniquity of his avarice, I was angry, and I struck him down. I concealed my face from you, and I was angry. And he went astray by wandering in his heart.

¹⁸  I saw his ways, and I healed him, and I led him back again, and I restored consolations to him and to those who mourn for him.
