    “Clear the way that they travel; widen the roads and make them smooth!
Take away any difficulty so that they may go easily!”

15 For the highest God above,
    who is and always will be, the only One who is holy has this to say:

Eternal One: I live in the high and holy place,
        yet I am with the low, the weak, and the humble.
    I renew their vitality and revive their strength.

    For the human spirit would grow faint—
        the breath of life I created would soon grow weak.

    nor will I always be angry,(J)
for then they would faint away because of me—
    the very people(K) I have created.
