Isaiah 57:13-16 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

13. When you cry out for help,let the false gods you have gathered help you.The wind will blow them all away.Just a puff of wind will take them away.But the person who depends on me will receive the land.He will have my holy mountain.”

14. The Lord says, “Build a road! Build a road! Prepare the way!Make the way clear for my people.”

15. God lives forever and is holy.He is high and lifted up, and he says,“I live in a high and holy place.But I also live with people who are sad and humble.I give new life to those who are humble.I give new life to those whose hearts are broken.

16. I will not accuse forever.I will not always be angry.If I continued to be angry, man’s life would grow weak.Man, whom I created, would die.
