11 And of whom were you afraid and feared, that you deceived
    and did not remember me?
    Did you not place it on your heart?
Have I not been silent, even from long ago,
    and so you do not fear me?
12 I myself will declare your righteousness and your works,
    but[a] they will not benefit you.
13 When you cry,[b] let your collection deliver you,
    and the wind will carry all of them away;
    a breath will take them away.
But[c] he who takes refuge in me shall take possession of the land,
    and he shall inherit my holy mountain.”[d]
