18 I have seen his ways, but I will (A)heal him;
I will (B)lead him and (C)restore comfort to him and to his mourners,
19 Creating the [a](D)praise of the lips.
(E)Peace, peace to him who is (F)far away and to him who is near,”
Says the Lord, “and I will heal him.”
20 But the (G)wicked are like the tossing sea,
For it cannot be quiet,
And its waters toss up refuse and mud.
21 (H)There is no peace,” says (I)my God, “for the wicked.”
