17. I was enraged by their sinful greed;I punished them, and hid my face in anger,yet they kept on in their wilful ways.
18. I have seen their ways, but I will heal them;I will guide them and restore comfort to Israel’s mourners,
19. creating praise on their lips.Peace, peace, to those far and near,’says the Lord. ‘And I will heal them.’
20. But the wicked are like the tossing sea,which cannot rest,whose waves cast up mire and mud.
21. ‘There is no peace,’ says my God, ‘for the wicked.’
