Isaiah 57:12-14

Easy-to-Read Version

¹² I could tell about your ‘good works’ and all the ‘religious’ things you do,
    but that will not help you.
¹³ When you need help,
    you cry to those false gods that you have gathered around you.
    Let them help you!
But I tell you, the wind will blow them all away.
    A puff of wind will blow them all away.
But the one who depends on me
    will get the land I promised
    and enjoy my holy mountain.^[a]”

¹⁴ Clear the road! Clear the road!
    Make the way clear for my people!
