Isaiah 57:14-21 - Peace For The Contrite

¹⁴ And one said - Cast ye up - cast ye up, prepare ye a way, - Lift the stumbling-block out of the way of my people. ¹⁵ For, thus, saith he that is high and lifted up - Inhabiting futurity, And, holy, is his name: A high and holy place, will I inhabit, Also with the crushed and lowly in spirit, To revive the spirit of the lowly, and To revive the heart of them who are crushed; - ¹⁶ For not age-abidingly, will I contend, Nor perpetually, will I be wroth, - For, spirit, before me, would faint, Even the breathing souls, which, I, had made. ¹⁷ Because of his iniquitous gain, was I wroth - and smote him Hiding myself that I might be wroth, - But he went on turning aside in the way of his own heart. ¹⁸ His ways, have I beheld, That I might heal him, - And guide him, And restore consolations to him and to his mourners: ¹⁹ Creating the fruit of the lips - Prosperity! Prosperity! For him that is far off and for him that is near saith Yahweh, So should I heal him. ²⁰ But, the lawless, are like the sea when tossed, - For, rest, it cannot! But its waters toss out mire and dirt. ²¹ No well-being, saith my God, to the lawless!
