Isaiah

Restoration for the Humble and Promise of Peace

Isaiah 57:14-21
14And one shall say, Build up, build up; prepare the way; remove the stumbling block from the way of my people. 15For thus says the one who is high and lifted up, who dwells forever, whose name is holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with the one who is contrite and lowly in spirit, in order to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the crushed. 16For I will not contend forever, nor will I always be angry; for the spirit would faint before me, and the breaths that I myself have made. 17Because of the iniquity of his unjust gain I was angry and struck him; I hid my face and was angry, and he went on turning back in the way of his heart. 18I have seen his ways, and I will heal him; I will lead him and restore comforts to him and to his mourners. 19Creating the fruit of the lips: peace, peace, to the one who is far off and to the one who is near, says the LORD, and I will heal him. 20But the wicked are like the tossing sea that cannot be quiet, whose waters cast up mire and mud. 21There is no peace, says my God, for the wicked.
