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]

The Lord promises to help his people

14 The Lord says,

‘Build a road! Make it ready for my people to travel on!
Remove everything that would cause them to fall.’

15 The Mighty God is far higher than all others. He rules from above and he lives for ever. His name is holy. He says,

‘I live in a high and holy place.
But I am also with anyone who is humble
    and who is sorry when he does wrong things.
I will comfort people who are like that,
    and I will give them hope.
