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
a“Heap it up! Heap it up!
Prepare the way,
Take the stumbling block out of the way of My people.”
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.
Nor will I always be angry;
For the spirit would fail before Me,
And the souls bwhich I have made.
I was angry and struck him;
bI hid and was angry,
cAnd he went on1 backsliding in the way of his heart.
I will also lead him,
And restore comforts to him
And to bhis mourners.
Peace, peace bto him who is far off and to him who is near,”
Says the Lord,
“And I will heal him.”
When it cannot rest,
Whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
