14 It will be said: "Survey, survey; build a road!Remove barriers from my people’s road!"
15 The one who is high and lifted up,who lives forever, whose name is holy, says:I live on high, in holiness,and also with the crushed and the lowly,reviving the spirit of the lowly,reviving the heart of those who have been crushed.
16 I won’t always accuse,nor will I be enraged forever.It is my own doing that their spirit is exhausted—I gave them breath!
17 I was enraged about their illegal profits;I struck them; in rage I withdrew from them.Yet they went on wandering wherever they wanted.
18 I have seen their ways, but I will heal them.I will guide them,and reward them with comfort.And for those who mourn,
19 I will create reason for praise:utter prosperity to those far and near,and I will heal them, says the Lord.
20 But the wicked are like the churning sea that can’t keep still.They churn up from their waters muck and mud.
