For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

The verse 15 is found in chapter 57 of Isaiah. The chapter denounces idolatry and corrupt religious practices in Israel, but also promises comfort to the humble and contrite. God dwells with the brokenhearted, so divine transcendence does not imply distance from human suffering. The absence of peace for the wicked closes the section by reminding us that restoration does not eliminate moral responsibility.

Denn also spricht der Hohe und Erhabene, der ewiglich wohnt, des Name heilig ist: Der ich in der Höhe und im Heiligtum wohne und bei denen, die zerschlagenen und demütigen Geistes sind, auf daß ich erquicke den Geist der Gedemütigten und das Herz der Zerschlagenen:
Porque así dijo el Alto y Sublime, el que habita la eternidad, y cuyo nombre es el Santo: Yo habito en la altura y la santidad, y con el quebrantado y humilde de espíritu, para hacer vivir el espíritu de los humildes, y para vivificar el corazón de los quebrantados.
Porque así dice el Alto y Sublime, el que habita la eternidad y cuyo nombre es Santo: «Habito en lo alto y santo, y con el quebrantado y humilde de espíritu, para reavivar el espíritu de los humildes y reavivar el corazón de los quebrantados.
Car ainsi parle le Très-Haut, Dont la demeure est éternelle et dont le nom est saint: J'habite dans les lieux élevés et dans la sainteté; Mais je suis avec l'homme contrit et humilié, Afin de ranimer les esprits humiliés, Afin de ranimer les coeurs contrits.
Perciocchè, così ha detto l’Alto, e l’Eccelso, che abita l’eternità, e il cui Nome è il Santo: Io abito in luogo alto, e santo, e col contrito, ed umile di spirito; per vivificar lo spirito degli umili, e per vivificare il cuor de’ contriti.
Porque assim diz o Alto e o Sublime, que habita na eternidade, e cujo nome é Santo: Num alto e santo lugar habito; como também com o contrito e abatido de espírito, para vivificar o espírito dos abatidos, e para vivificar o coração dos contritos.
那至高無上、永遠長存、 名為聖者的如此說: 「我住在至高至聖的所在, 卻與心靈痛悔的謙卑人同住; 要使謙卑的人心靈甦醒, 使痛悔的人內心復甦。
