15. For thus says the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy;
16. For I will not contend forever, neither will I be always angry: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.
17. For the iniquity of his covetousness was I angry, and struck him: I hid myself, and was angry, and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.
18. I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.
