Isaiah 57:16

Next

For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls [which] I have made.

For I will not contend {H7378} for ever {H5769}, neither will I be always {H5331} wroth {H7107}: for the spirit {H7307} should fail {H5848} before {H6440} me, and the souls {H5397} which I have made {H6213}.

For I will not fight them forever or always nurse my anger; otherwise their spirits would faint before me, the creatures I myself have made.

For I will not accuse you forever, nor will I always be angry; for then the spirit of man would grow weak before Me, with the breath of those I have made.

For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls that I have made.
