Isaiah 57:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be angry unto the end: because the spirit shall go forth from my face, and breathings I will make.

¹⁷ For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry, and I struck him: I hid my face from thee, and was angry: and he went away wandering in his own heart.

¹⁸ I saw his ways, and I healed him, and brought him back, and restored comforts to him, and to them that mourn for him.
