Isaiah 57:15-17
Amplified Bible
15
For the high and exalted One
He who inhabits eternity, Whose name is Holy says this,
“I dwell on the high and holy place,
But also with the [a]contrite and humble in spirit
In order to revive the spirit of the humble
And to revive the heart of the contrite [overcome with sorrow for sin].(A)
16
“For I will not contend forever,
Nor will I always be angry;
For [if I did stay angry] the spirit [of man] would grow weak before Me,
And the breath of those whom I have created.
17
“Because of the wickedness of his unjust gain I was angry and struck him;
I hid My face and was angry,
And he went on turning away and backsliding, in the way of his [own willful] heart.

Isaiah 57:15-17
New International Version
15 For this is what the high and exalted(A) One says—
he who lives forever,(B) whose name is holy:
“I live in a high(C) and holy place,
but also with the one who is contrite(D) and lowly in spirit,(E)
to revive the spirit of the lowly
and to revive the heart of the contrite.(F)
16 I will not accuse(G) them forever,
nor will I always be angry,(H)
for then they would faint away because of me—
the very people(I) I have created.
17 I was enraged by their sinful greed;(J)
I punished them, and hid(K) my face in anger,
yet they kept on in their willful ways.(L)
