11 What idol are you so afraid of,
    that you choose to deceive me?
You seem to have forgotten about me.
    You do not think about me at all.
Have I been silent for too long?
    Is that why you no longer respect me?
12 Now I will speak against the things that you do.
You think that they are good and right,
    but those things will not help you.
13 Shout for help, if you like.
    See if your group of idols can help you!
The wind will blow them all away.
    Even a breath will carry them away.
But if people trust me to help them,
    this land will belong to them.
They will worship me on my holy mountain.’[a]
