Isaiah 57:16

12I will declare your righteousness; and as for your works, they will not benefit you.

13When you cry, let those whom you have gathered deliver you, but the wind will take them. A breath will carry them all away, but he who takes refuge in me will possess the land, and will inherit my holy mountain.”

14He will say, “Build up, build up, prepare the way! Remove the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.”

15For the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy, says: “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

16For I will not contend forever, neither will I always be angry; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls whom I have made.

17I was angry because of the iniquity of his covetousness and struck him. I hid myself and was angry; and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.

18I have seen his ways, and will heal him. I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.

19I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him who is far off and to him who is near,” says the LORD; “and I will heal them.”

20But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it can’t rest and its waters cast up mire and mud.
