Isaiah 57:15-16
15For thus says athe One who is high and lifted up,who inhabits eternity, whose name is bHoly:
c“I dwell in the high and holy place,
and also dwith him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit,
eto revive the spirit of the lowly,
and to revive the heart of the contrite.
16 fFor I will not contend forever,
nor will I always be angry;
for the spirit would grow faint before me,
and the breath of life that I made.
Isaiah 66:2
2 gAll these things my hand has made,and so all these things came to be,
declares the Lord.
hBut this is the one to whom I will look:
he who is humble and contrite in spirit
and trembles at my word.

jThey shall seek refuge in the name of the Lord,
