Isaiah 57:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 57:13

11 “And ^aof whom have you been afraid, or feared,
That you have lied
And not remembered Me,
Nor taken it to your heart?
Is it not because ^bI have held My peace from of old
That you do not fear Me?

12 I will declare your righteousness
And your works,
For they will not profit you.

13 When you cry out,
Let your collection of idols deliver you.
But the wind will carry them all away,
A breath will take them.
But he who puts his trust in Me shall possess the land,
And shall inherit My holy mountain.”

Healing for the Backslider

14 And one shall say,
^a“Heap it up! Heap it up!
Prepare the way,
Take the stumbling block out of the way of My people.”

15 For thus says the High and Lofty One
Who inhabits eternity, ^awhose name is Holy:
^b“I dwell in the high and holy place,
^cWith him who has a contrite and humble spirit,
^dTo revive the spirit of the humble,
And to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

16 ^aFor I will not contend forever,
Nor will I always be angry;
For the spirit would fail before Me,
And the souls ^bwhich I have made.

17 For the iniquity of ^ahis covetousness
I was angry and struck him;
^bI hid and was angry,
^cAnd he went on¹ backsliding in the way of his heart.

18 I have seen his ways, and ^awill heal him;
I will also lead him,
And restore comforts to him
And to ^bhis mourners.

19 “I create ^athe fruit of the lips:
Peace, peace ^bto him who is far off and to him who is near,”
Says the Lord,
“And I will heal him.”

20 ^aBut the wicked are like the troubled sea,
When it cannot rest,
Whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

21 “There^a is no peace,”
Says my God, “for the wicked.”
