Isaiah 57:16-18
International Standard Version
Isaiah 57:16-18
International Standard Version
16 For I won’t accuse forever,
nor will I always be angry;
for then the human spirit would grow faint before me—
even the souls that I have created.
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]
