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.
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.
I have seen his ways, and will heal him.
I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
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.”
