Isaiah 57:17 Context
15For thus saith the High and loftie One that inhabiteth eternitie, whose Name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place: with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to reuiue the spirit of the humble, and to reuiue the heart of the contrite ones. 16For I will not contend for euer, neither will I be alwayes wroth: for the spirit should faile before me, and the soules which I haue made. 17For the iniquitie of his couetousnesse was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and hee went on frowardly in the way of his heart. 18I haue seene his wayes, and will heale him: I will leade him also, and restore comforts vnto him, and to his mourners. 19I create the fruite of the lippes; peace, peace to him that is farre off, and to him that is neere, sayth the Lord, and I will heale him.
