Isaiah 57:17

Peace For The Contrite

¹⁶ For I will not contend forever, nor will I always be angry, for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls that I have made. ¹⁷ For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry, and smote him. I hid [my face] and was angry, and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart. ¹⁸ I have seen his ways, and will heal him. I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
