Isaiah 57:14-16
New Century Version
The Lord Will Save His People
14 Someone will say, “Build a road! Build a road! Prepare the way!
Make the way clear for my people.”
15 And this is the reason: God lives forever and is holy.
He is high and lifted up.
He says, “I live in a high and holy place,
but I also live with people who are sad and humble.
I give new life to those who are humble
and to those whose hearts are broken.
16 I will not accuse forever,
nor will I always be angry,
because then human life would grow weak.
Human beings, whom I created, would die.
Isaiah 57:14-16
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.
