Isaiah 57:14-16
Evangelical Heritage Version
Isaiah 57:14-16
Evangelical Heritage Version
14 I will say,[a]
“Build up, build up the highway.
Prepare the way.
Remove the stumbling block from the way of my people.”
15 Certainly this is what the High and Lofty One says,
the one who dwells with his people forever,
and whose name is holy:
I dwell in a high and holy place,
yet also with the one who is crushed and lowly in spirit,
in order to revive the spirit of those who have been pushed down,
and to revive the hearts of those who have been crushed.
16 Surely I will not accuse forever,
and I will not always be angry,
because every spirit would grow weak in my presence,
and every breath of life, which I made, would fail.

New International Version
Comfort for the Contrite
14 And it will be said:
“Build up, build up, prepare the road!(A)
Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people.”(B)
15 For this is what the high and exalted(C) One says—
he who lives forever,(D) whose name is holy:
“I live in a high(E) and holy place,
but also with the one who is contrite(F) and lowly in spirit,(G)
to revive the spirit of the lowly
and to revive the heart of the contrite.(H)
16 I will not accuse(I) them forever,
nor will I always be angry,(J)
for then they would faint away because of me—
the very people(K) I have created.
