Good people pass away; the godly often die before their time. But no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come. For those who follow godly paths will rest in peace when they die. (vv. 1-2 NLT)
God says, “Rebuild the road! Clear away the rocks and stones so My people can return from captivity.” The hight and lofty One who lives in eternity says this:
“I live in the high and holy place with those whose spirits are contrite and humble. I restore the crushed spirit of the humble and revive the courage of those with repentant hearts. (vv. 14-15, NLT)
