第五十七章
14耶和華要說：“你們要修築修築，預備道路，將絆腳石從我百姓
的路中除掉！”15因為那至高至上、永遠長存（註：原文作“住在
永遠”）、名為聖者的如此說：“我住在至高至聖的所在，也與心
靈痛悔、謙卑的人同居；要使謙卑人的靈甦醒，也使痛悔人的心甦
醒。16我必不永遠相爭，也不長久發怒，恐怕我所造的人與靈性都
必發昏。17因他貪婪的罪孽，我就發怒擊打他。我向他掩面發怒，
他卻仍然隨心背道。18我看見他所行的道，也要醫治他，又要引導
他，使他和那一同傷心的人再得安慰。19我造就嘴唇的果子，願平
安康泰歸與遠處的人，也歸與近處的人；並且我要醫治他。”這是
耶和華說的。20“惟獨惡人，好像翻騰的海不得平靜；其中的水常
湧出污穢和淤泥來。”21我的神說：“惡人必不得平安！”

Chapter 57
14 And it will be said:“Build up, build up, prepare the road! Remove the
obstacles out of the way of my people.”15 For this is what the high and
exalted One says—he who lives forever, whose name is holy:
“I live in a high and holy place, but also with the one who is contrite and
lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the
contrite.16 I will not accuse them forever, nor will I always be angry,
for then they would faint away because of me—the very people I have
created.17 I was enraged by their sinful greed; I punished them, and hid
my face in anger,yet they kept on in their willful ways.18 I have seen their
ways, but I will heal them;I will guide them and restore comfort to Israel’s
mourners,19 creating praise on their lips. Peace, peace, to those far and
near,”says the LORD. “And I will heal them.”20 But the wicked are like
the tossing sea, which cannot rest,whose waves cast up mire and mud.
21 “There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”
