Isaiah 57:17
Berean Standard Bible
I was enraged by his sinful greed, so I struck him and hid My face in anger; yet he kept turning back to the desires of his heart.
Context
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. 16For I will not accuse you forever,
nor will I always be angry;
for then the spirit of man would grow weak before Me,
with the breath of those I have made. 17I was enraged by his sinful greed,
so I struck him and hid My face in anger;
yet he kept turning back
to the desires of his heart. 18I have seen his ways,
but I will heal him;
I will guide him and restore comfort
to him and his mourners, 19bringing praise to their lips.
Peace, peace to those far and near,” says the LORD,
“and I will heal them.”
