Isaiah 57:16-18
Amplified Bible
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.
18
“I have seen his [willful] ways, but I will heal him;
I will lead him [also] and will restore comfort to him and to those who mourn for him,(A)
Isaiah 57:16-18
New International Version
16 I will not accuse(A) them forever,
nor will I always be angry,(B)
for then they would faint away because of me—
the very people(C) I have created.
17 I was enraged by their sinful greed;(D)
I punished them, and hid(E) my face in anger,
yet they kept on in their willful ways.(F)
18 I have seen their ways, but I will heal(G) them;
I will guide(H) them and restore comfort(I) to Israel’s mourners,
