Isaiah 57:16-18

The Voice

¹⁶     For I will not struggle against them forever,
        and I won’t always be angry.
    For the human spirit would grow faint—
        the breath of life I created would soon grow weak.
¹⁷     Yes, they infuriated Me with how they profited from their greed and violence,
        so I struck them down and turned My back on them,
    And still they persisted in their wrongdoing.
¹⁸     I have seen how they act, but I will still bind them up and make them well again.
        I will show them the way, comfort and console them.
