Peace For The Contrite

“I have seen his [willful] ways, but I will heal him;
I will lead him [also] and will restore comfort to him and to those who mourn for him,
¹⁹ 
As I create the praise of his lips,
Peace, peace, to him who is far away [both Jew and Gentile] and to him who is near!”

For it cannot be quiet,
And its waters toss up mire and mud.
