15. For thus has said the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is The Holy One; I dwell in the high place and in holiness and with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit to cause the spirit of the humble to live and to cause the heart of the contrite ones to live.
16. For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for by me is the spirit covered by the body, and I have made the souls.
17. For the iniquity of his covetousness I was wroth and smote him: I hid my face and was wroth, and he went on rebelliously 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.
