Holy Scripture

Isaiah 57:14

A church father on this verse
“"And it shall be said, 'Remove every obstruction from my people's way.' " Probably he said these words with regard to the Jewish Zealots, who killed their fellow citizens, because they had lapsed into idolatry and had been an obstacle for their fellows in the days of the Greeks.”

In context

12And I will declare thy righteousness, and thy sins, which shall not profit thee.

13When thou criest out, let them deliver thee in thine affliction: for all these the wind shall take, and the tempest shall carry them away: but they that cleave to me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain.

— Isaiah 57:14 —

15Thus saith the Most High, who dwells on high forever, Holy in the holies, is his name, the Most High resting in the holies, and giving patience to the faint-hearted, and giving life to the brokenhearted:

16I will not take vengeance on you forever, neither will I be always angry with you: for my Spirit shall go forth from me, and I have created all breath.
