Isaiah 57:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 And whom didst thou reverence or fear, seeing thou hast [a]lied unto me, and hast not remembered me, neither set thy mind thereon? is it not because I hold my peace, and that of long [b]time? therefore thou fearest not me.
12 I will declare thy righteousness [c]and thy works, and they shall not profit thee.
13 When thou cryest, let them that thou hast gathered together, deliver thee: but the wind [d]shall take them all away: vanity shall pull them away: but he that trusteth in me shall inherit the land, and shall possess mine holy Mountain.
