Comfort for the Contrite

Isaiah 57

14 And shall say, Clear away, clear away, level the way, take away the stumblingblocks out of the way of my people. 15 For thus has said the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is The Holy One; I dwell in the high place and in holiness and with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit to cause the spirit of the humble to live and to cause the heart of the contrite ones to live. 16 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for by me is the spirit covered by the body, and I have made the souls. 17 For the iniquity of his covetousness I was wroth and smote him: I hid my face and was wroth, and he went on rebelliously in the way of his heart. 18 I have seen his ways and will heal him: I will lead him also and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners. 19 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off and to him that is near, said the LORD; and healed him. 20 But the wicked are like the sea in tempest, that cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. 21 There is no peace, saith my God, for the wicked.
