Isaiah 57:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 For his [a]wicked covetousness I am angry with him, and have smitten him: I hid me, and was angry, yet he went away, and turned after the way of his own heart.
18 I have seen his ways, and will [b]heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comfort unto him, and to those that lament him.
19 I create the [c]fruit of the lips, to be peace: peace unto them that are [d]far off, and to them that are near, saith the Lord: for I will heal him.
