Isa 57:14-21

And I say:

Build up, build up, prepare the way,

remove every obstacle from my people’s way.

For thus says the high and lofty One,

the One who dwells forever, whose name is holy:

I dwell in a high and holy place,

but also with the contrite and lowly of spirit,

To revive the spirit of the lowly,

to revive the heart of the crushed.

For I will not accuse forever,

nor always be angry;

For without me their spirit fails,

the life breath that I have given.

Because of their wicked avarice I grew angry;

I struck them, hiding myself from them in wrath.

But they turned back, following the way

of their own heart.
