Isaiah 57:16-20

Isaiah 57:16-20 AMP

“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. “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. “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, [Is 61:1, 2; 66:10] As I create the praise of his lips, Peace, peace, to him who is far away [both Jew and Gentile] and to him who is near!” Says the LORD; “And I will heal him [making his lips blossom anew with thankful praise].” [Acts 2:39; Eph 2:13-17, 18; Heb 13:15] But the wicked are like the tossing sea, For it cannot be quiet, And its waters toss up mire and mud.
