Isaiah 57:15

Peace For The Contrite

¹⁴ And I will say, Make it high, make it high, get ready the way, take the stones out of the way of my people. ¹⁵ For this is the word of him who is high and lifted up, whose resting-place is eternal, whose name is Holy: my resting-place is in the high and holy place, and with him who is crushed and poor in spirit, to give life to the spirit of the poor, and to make strong the heart of the crushed. ¹⁶ For I will not give punishment for ever, or be angry without end: for from me breath goes out; and I it was who made the souls.
