*
Men shall say ,
Cast up ,
cast up ,
prepare the road ;
Remove every obstruction from the way of my people !
*
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 .
*
For I will not contend forever ,
Nor will I be always angry ;
For life would fail before me ,
And the souls which I created .
*
For the guilt of his covetousness I was angry ;
I smote him ,
I hid myself ,
and was angry ;
But yet he went on perversely in the way of his heart .
*
I have seen his ways ,
yet will I heal him ;
I will guide him ,
and I will restore comfort To him and to his mourners ;
*
I create the fruit of the lips .
Peace ,
peace to him that is far off ,
and to him that is nigh ,
Saith Jehovah ;
I will heal him .
*
But the wicked is like the troubled sea ,
Which cannot rest ,
Whose waters cast up mire and dirt .
*
There is no peace ,
saith my God ,
for the wicked .
