Isaiah 57:17-19
International Standard Version
17 Because of his wicked greed I was angry,
so I punished him;
and[a] I hid my face, and was angry—
but he kept turning back to his stubborn will.[b]
18 I’ve seen his ways,[c] yet I will heal him,[d]
and restore for him[e] comfort[f] to him
and for those who mourn for him[g]
19 when[h] I create the fruit of the lips:
Peace[i] to the one who is far away or near,” says the Lord,
“and I’ll heal him.
