Isaiah 57:13-21


13
When you cry out, alet your collection of idols deliver you.
But the wind will lift all of them up,
And a breath will take them away.
But he who btakes refuge in Me will cinherit the land
And will dpossess My holy mountain.”

Yahweh Revives the Spirit of the Lowly

14
And it will be said,
“aBuild up, build up, prepare the way,
1Remove every stumbling block out of the way of My people.”

15
For thus says the One ahigh and lifted up
Who bdwells forever, whose name is Holy,
“I cdwell on a high and holy place,
And also with the dcrushed and lowly of spirit
In order to erevive the spirit of the lowly
And to revive the heart of the crushed.

16
For I will anot contend forever,
bNor will I always be angry;
For the spirit would grow faint before Me,
And the cbreath of those whom I have made.

17
Because of the iniquity of his agreedy gain I was angry and struck him;
I hid My face and was angry,
And he went on bturning away, in the way of his heart.

18
I have seen his ways, but I will aheal him;
I will blead him and cpay him and his mourners in full with comfort,

19
Creating the 1apraise of the lips.
bPeace, peace to him who is cfar and to him who is near,”
Says Yahweh, “and I will heal him.”

20
But the awicked are like the tossing sea,
For it cannot be quiet,
And its waters toss up refuse and mud.

21
“aThere is no peace,” says bmy God, “for the wicked.”
