Isaiah 57:15-17

English Standard Version

¹⁵ For thus says ^(A)the One who is high and lifted up,
    who inhabits eternity, whose name is ^(B)Holy:
^(C)“I dwell in the high and holy place,
    and also ^(D)with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit,
^(E)to revive the spirit of the lowly,
    and to revive the heart of the contrite.
^16 (F)For 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.
¹⁷ Because of the iniquity of his ^(G)unjust gain I was angry,
    I struck him; I hid my face and was angry,
    but he went on backsliding in the way of his own heart.
