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.
17. I was angry because they were dishonest in order to make money.I punished them and turned away from them in anger.But they continued to do evil.
18. I have seen what they have done, but I will heal them.I will guide them and comfort them.And those who were sad will praise me.
