Peace for the Contrite

14 And one shall say, “Build up, build up! Clear the way!
    Remove the obstacles[a] from the way of my people!”

15 For thus says the high and lofty one who resides forever, and whose name is holy:

“I reside in a high and holy place,
    and with the contrite[b] and humble of spirit,
to revive the spirit of the humble,
    and to revive the heart of the contrite.[c]
16 For I will not attack forever,
    and I will not be angry forever,
for the spirit will grow faint before me,
    and the breaths that I myself I have made.
