Isaiah 57:14-21

21st Century King James Version

¹⁴ And shall say, ‘Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way; take up the stumbling block out of the way of My people.’”

¹⁵ For thus saith the high and lofty One who inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

¹⁶ For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth; for the spirit should fail before Me, and the souls which I have made.

¹⁷ For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth and smote him; I hid Me and was wroth, and he went on waywardly in the way of his heart.

¹⁸ I have seen his ways and will heal him; I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.

¹⁹ I create the fruit of the lips; peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near,” saith the Lord; “and I will heal him.

²⁰ “But the wicked are like the troubled sea when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

²¹ There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.”
