Isaiah 57:16

Isaiah 57:16 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

16I 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.

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 those whom I have made.

16For I will not contend forever,

Nor will I always be angry;

For the spirit would grow faint before Me,

And the breath of those whom I have made.

16“For I will not contend forever,

Nor will I always be angry;

For [if I did stay angry] the spirit [of man] would grow weak before Me,

And the breath of those whom I have created.

16For I will not accuse you forever,

nor will I always be angry;

for then the spirit of man would grow weak before Me—

the breath of life I have made.

16I will not find fault with my people forever.

I will not always be angry with them.

If I were, I would cause their spirits to grow weak.

The people I created would faint away.
