Isaiah 57:14-16 (Listen)

• Isaiah 56
• Isaiah 57
• Isaiah 58

Comfort for the Contrite

14 And it shall be said,

m“Build up, build up, prepare the way,

remove every obstruction from my people's way.”

15 For thus says nthe One who is high and lifted up,

who inhabits eternity, whose name is oHoly:

p“I dwell in the high and holy place,

and also qwith him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit,

rto revive the spirit of the lowly,

and to revive the heart of the contrite.

16 sFor I will not contend forever,

nor will I always be angry;

for the spirit would grow faint before me,

and the breath of life that I made.
