Isaiah 57:16

Peace For The Contrite

¹⁵ "For this is what the high and lofty One says, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: "He lives in the height and in holiness, and also with the one who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite. ¹⁶ For I won't accuse forever, nor will I always be angry; for then the human spirit would grow faint before me even the souls that I have created. ¹⁷ Because of his wicked greed I was angry, so I punished him; and I hid my face, and was angry but he kept turning back to his stubborn will.
