17. I was angry because of their sinful greed,so I punished them, hid ⌊from them⌋, and remained angry.But they continued to be sinful.
18. I’ve seen their ⌊sinful⌋ ways, but I’ll heal them.I’ll guide them and give them rest.I’ll comfort them and their mourners.
19. I’ll create praise on their lips:“Perfect peace to those both far and near.”“I’ll heal them,” says the Lord.
20. But the wicked are like the churning sea.It isn’t quiet,and its water throws up mud and slime.
21. “There is no peace for the wicked,” says my God.
