Isaiah 57:17-19

New Living Translation

¹⁷ I was angry,
    so I punished these greedy people.
I withdrew from them,
    but they kept going on their own stubborn way.
¹⁸ I have seen what they do,
    but I will heal them anyway!
    I will lead them.
I will comfort those who mourn,
¹⁹     bringing words of praise to their lips.
May they have abundant peace, both near and far,”
    says the Lord, who heals them.
