Isaiah 57:14

Peace For The Contrite

¹³ “When you cry out, let 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 takes refuge in Me will inherit the land
And will possess My holy mountain.”
¹⁴ And it will be said,
“Build up, build up, prepare the way,
Remove every obstacle out of the way of My people.”
¹⁵ For thus says the high and exalted One
Who lives forever, whose name is Holy,
“I dwell on a high and holy place,
And also with the contrite and lowly of spirit
In order to revive the spirit of the lowly
And to revive the heart of the contrite.

My People

Prepare the Way

Stumbling Block
