Isaiah 57:16-18

Isaiah 57:16-18

[16] For I will not contend  for ever,  neither will I be always  wroth:  for the spirit  should fail  before  me, and the souls  which I have made.  [17] For the iniquity  of his covetousness  was I wroth,  and smote  him: I hid  me, and was wroth,  frowardly  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.
