Isaiah 57:16 in Context — Isaiah 57
14 Y dirá: Allanad, allanad; barred el camino, quitad los tropiezos del camino de mi pueblo.
15 Porque así dijo el Alto y Sublime, el que habita la eternidad, y cuyo nombre es el Santo: Yo habito en la altura y la santidad, y con el quebrantado y humilde de espíritu, para hacer vivir el espíritu de los humildes, y para vivificar el corazón de los quebrantados.
16 Porque no tengo de contender para siempre, ni para siempre me he de enojar: pues decaería ante mí el espíritu, y las almas que yo he criado.
17 Por la iniquidad de su codicia me enojé y heríle, escondí [mi rostro] y ensañéme; y fué él rebelde por el camino de su corazón.
18 Visto he sus caminos, y le sanaré, y le pastorearé, y daréle consolaciones, á él y á sus enlutados.
