16. For I will not contend forever, neither will I always be angry;for the spirit would faint before me,and the souls whom I have made.
17. I was angry because of the iniquity of his covetousness, and struck him;I hid myself and was angry;and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.
18. I have seen his ways, and will heal him:I will lead him also,and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
19. I create the fruit of the lips:Peace, peace, to him who is far off and to him who is near,”says the Lord; “and I will heal them.”
20. But the wicked are like the troubled sea;for it can’t rest, and its waters cast up mire and mud.
21. “There is no peace”, says my God,“for the wicked.”
