Peace For The Contrite

13 When thou cryest, let thy chosen heap deliver thee. But the wind shall take them all away, and carry them into the air. Nevertheless, they that put their trust in me, shall inherit the land, and have my holy hill in possession. 14 And therefore thus he sayeth, "Make ready, make ready, and clean the street, take up what ye can out of the way that leadeth to my people." 15 For thus sayeth the high and excellent, even he that dwelleth in everlastingness, whose name is the holy one: I dwell high above and in the sanctuary, and with him also, that is of a contrite and humble spirit: that I may heal a troubled mind, and a contrite heart.
