15For thus says hthe One who is high and lifted up,
who inhabits eternity, whose name is iHoly:
j“I dwell in the high and holy place,
and also kwith him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit,
lto revive the spirit of the lowly,
and to revive the heart of the contrite.
16 mFor 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.
17Because of the iniquity of his nunjust gain I was angry,
I struck him; I hid my face and was angry,
but he went on backsliding in the way of his own heart.
18I have seen his ways, obut I will heal him;
I will lead him pand restore comfort to him and his mourners,

that we may live before him.
