Isaias 57:13-21 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

13. When thou shalt cry, let thy companies deliver thee, but the wind shall carry them all off, a breeze shall take them away, but he that putteth his trust in me, shall inherit the land, and shall possess my holy mount.

14. And I will say: Make a way: give free passage, turn out of the path, take away the stumblingblocks out of the way of my people.

15. For thus saith the High and the Eminent that inhabiteth eternity: and his name is Holy, who dwelleth in the high and holy place, and with a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

16. For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be angry unto the end: because the spirit shall go forth from my face, end breathings I will make.

17. For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry, and I struck him: I hid my face from thee, and was angry: and he went away wandering in his own heart.

18. I saw his ways, and I healed him, and brought him back, and restored comforts to him, and to them that mourn for him.

19. I created the fruit of the lips, peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, said the Lord, and I healed him.

20. But the wicked are like the raging sea, which cannot rest, and the waves thereof cast up dirt and mire.

21. There is no peace to the wicked, saith the Lord God.
