Isaiah

Isaiah 57:14–15

¹⁴And it will be said,

“Build it up, build it up, prepare the way,

take every obstacle out of the way of My people.”

¹⁵For thus says the One who is high and lifted up,

who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy:

“I dwell in a high and holy place,

and with the oppressed and humble in spirit,

to restore the spirit of the lowly

and revive the heart of the contrite.
