“And He has said, “Raise up, raise up, prepare a way, || Lift a stumbling-block out of the way of My people.””— Isaiah 57:14 (LSV)
11And of whom have you been afraid, and fear, || That you lie, and have not remembered Me? You have not laid [it] to your heart, || Am I not silent, even from of old? And you do not fear Me?
12I declare your righteousness, and your works, || And they do not profit you.
13When you cry, let your gatherings deliver you, || And wind carries all of them away, || Vanity takes away, || And whoever is trusting in Me inherits the land, || And possesses My holy mountain.”
14And He has said, “Raise up, raise up, prepare a way, || Lift a stumbling-block out of the way of My people.”
15For thus said the high and exalted One, || Inhabiting eternity, and His Name [is] holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, || And with the bruised and humble of spirit, || To revive the spirit of the humble, || And to revive the heart of bruised ones,
16For I do not strive for all time, nor am I angry forever, || For the spirit is feeble before Me, || And the souls I have made.
17For the iniquity of his dishonest gain, || I have been angry, and I strike him, || Hiding—and am angry, || And he goes on turning back in the way of his heart.
