For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.

The verse 17 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.

Ich war zornig über die Untugend ihres Geizes und schlug sie, verbarg mich und zürnte; da gingen sie hin und her im Wege ihres Herzens.
Por la iniquidad de su codicia me enojé y herile, escondí mi rostro y ensañeme; y fue él rebelde por el camino de su corazón.
Por la iniquidad de su codicia me enojé y lo herí; me oculté y me indigné, pero él siguió rebelde por el camino de su corazón.
A cause de son avidité coupable, je me suis irrité et je l'ai frappé, Je me suis caché dans mon indignation; Et le rebelle a suivi le chemin de son coeur.
Io sono stato adirato per l’iniquità della sua cupidigia, e l’ho percosso; io mi son nascosto, e sono stato indegnato; ma pur quel ribello è andato per la via del suo cuore.
Pela iniqüidade da sua avareza me indignei, e o feri; escondi-me, e indignei-me; contudo, rebelde, seguiu o caminho do seu coração.
我因人貪婪的罪孽,發怒擊打他; 我轉臉向他發怒, 他卻仍隨意背道而行。
