Isaiah 57:20

SinPeace

18 I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will guide him and restore comfort to him and his mourners,

19 bringing praise to their lips. Peace, peace to those far and near,” says the LORD, “and I will heal them.”

But the wicked are like the storm-tossed sea, for it cannot be still, and its waves churn up mire and muck.

21 “There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”
