23:057:010 Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy
way; yet saidst thou
not,
There is no hope: thou hast found the life of
thine hand;
therefore
thou wast not grieved.
23:057:011 And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared,
that thou hast
lied,
and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart?
have
not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me
not?
23:057:012 I will declare thy righteousness, and thy
works; for they
shall
not profit thee.
23:057:013 When thou criest, let thy companies deliver
thee; but the wind
shall
carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but
he that
putteth
his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall
inherit
my holy mountain;
23:057:014 And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up,
prepare the way, take
up
the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.
23:057:015 For thus saith the high and lofty One that
inhabiteth
eternity,
whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy
place,
with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit,
to
revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the
heart of
the
contrite ones.
23:057:016 For I will not contend for ever, neither
will I be always
wroth:
for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls
which
I have made.
23:057:017 For the iniquity of his covetousness was
I wroth, and smote
him:
I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in
the
way
of his heart.
23:057:018 I have seen his ways, and will heal him:
I will lead him also,
and
restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.
23:057:019 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace,
peace to him that is
far
off, and to him that is near, saith the lord;
and I will
heal
him.
23:057:020 But the wicked are like the troubled sea,
when it cannot rest,
whose
waters cast up mire and dirt.
23:057:021 There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
23:058:001 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice
like a trumpet, and
shew
my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob
their
sins.
23:058:002 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to
know my ways, as a
nation
that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance
of
their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice;
they
take
delight in approaching to God.
23:058:003 Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and
thou seest not?
wherefore
have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no
knowledge?
Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure,
and
exact all your labours.
