15 For thus says the High and Lofty One
    who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy:
I dwell in the high and holy place
    and also with him who 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 forever,
    nor will I always be angry;
for the spirit would grow faint before Me,
    and the souls whom I have made.
17 For the iniquity of his unjust gain I was angry and struck him;
    I hid My face and was wrathful,
    and he went on turning away in the way of his heart.

    nor will I always be angry,(H)

17 I was enraged by their sinful greed;(J)
    I punished them, and hid(K) my face in anger,
    yet they kept on in their willful ways.(L)
