16
I will not take vengeance on you for ever, neither will I be always angry with you: for my Spirit shall go forth from me, and I have created all breath.
17
On account of sin for a little while I grieved him, and smote him, and turned away my face from him; and he was grieved, and he went on sorrowful in his ways.
18
I have seen his ways, and healed him, and comforted him, and given him true comfort;
19
peace upon peace to them that are far off, and to them that are nigh: and the Lord has said, I will heal them.
20
But the unrighteous shall be tossed as troubled waves, and shall not be able to rest.
