Isaiah 57:14-17

Comfort for the Contrite 14And it will be said: “Build up, build up, prepare the road! Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people.”

15For this is what the high and exalted One says— he who lives forever, whose name is holy: “I live in a high and holy place, but also with the one who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.

16I will not accuse them forever, nor will I always be angry, for then they would faint away because of me— the very people I have created.

17I was enraged by their sinful greed; I punished them, and hid my face in anger, yet they kept on in their willful ways.
