Isaiah 57:15-17

Good News Translation

¹⁵ “I am the high and holy God, who lives forever. I live in a high and holy place, but I also live with people who are humble and repentant, so that I can restore their confidence and hope. ¹⁶ I gave my people life, and I will not continue to accuse them or be angry with them forever.^{[a] 17} I was angry with them because of their sin and greed, and so I punished them and abandoned them. But they were stubborn and kept on going their own way.
