| 15 | For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: "I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of 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, nor will I always be angry; for from me proceeds the spirit, and I have made the breath of life. |
| 17 | Because of the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry, I smote him, I hid my face and was angry; but he went on backsliding in the way of his own heart. |
| 18 | I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will lead him and requite him with comfort, creating for his mourners the fruit of the lips. |
| 19 | Peace, peace, to the far and to the near, says the LORD; and I will heal him. |
| 20 | But the wicked are like the tossing sea; for it cannot rest, and its waters toss up mire and dirt. |
| 21 | There is no peace, says my God, for the wicked." |
