Isaiah 57:17

Peace For The Contrite

¹⁶ For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for by me is the spirit covered by the body, and I have made the souls. ¹⁷ “Because of the iniquity of his unjust gain I was angry and struck him;
I hid My face and was angry,
And he went on turning away, in the way of his heart.
¹⁸ I have seen his ways and will heal him: I will lead him also and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.
