Isaiah 57:14-16

New International Reader's Version

“Build up the road! Build it up! Get it ready!
    Remove anything that would keep my people from coming back.”
¹⁵ The God who is highly honored lives forever.
    His name is holy. He says,
“I live in a high and holy place.
    But I also live with anyone who turns away from their sins.
    I live with anyone who is not proud.
I give new life to them.
    I give it to anyone who turns away from their sins.
¹⁶ I will not find fault with my people forever.
    I will not always be angry with them.
If I were, I would cause their spirits to grow weak.
    The people I created would faint away.
