以賽亞書 57：14-16
現代文譯本（2019）
14 上主說：「讓我的子民歸向我。要清除途中的障礙！要修築道路，準備一切！
15 「我是至高無上、神聖的上帝；我永遠存在。我住在至高神聖的地方，但也住在痛悔和謙卑的人當中。我使謙卑的人恢復信心，使痛悔的人獲得希望。
16 我賜生命給我的子民，不再挑剔他們的毛病，也不永遠向他們發怒。
ESV
14 And it shall be said, “Build up, build up, prepare the way, remove every obstruction from my people’s way.”
15 For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
16 For I will not contend forever, nor will I always be angry; for the spirit would grow faint before me, and the breath of life that I made.
《二十一世紀聖經新譯》
第14節描繪祂是一位發號施令的解放者。
在第15節，「至高」及「謙卑」兩詞，使我們聯想到馬太福音十一章28-30節及約翰福音一章14節。
第16節似回應創世記六章3節，表明了神的忍耐
