Isaiah 57:16 Context
14And shall say, Cast yee vp, cast yee vp; prepare the way, take vp the stumbling blocke out of the way of my people. 15For thus saith the High and loftie One that inhabiteth eternitie, whose Name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place: with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to reuiue the spirit of the humble, and to reuiue the heart of the contrite ones. 16For I will not contend for euer, neither will I be alwayes wroth: for the spirit should faile before me, and the soules which I haue made. 17For the iniquitie of his couetousnesse was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and hee went on frowardly in the way of his heart. 18I haue seene his wayes, and will heale him: I will leade him also, and restore comforts vnto him, and to his mourners.
