    The wind will carry them all off,
        and[a] a mere breath will sweep them all away.”

God’s Reward for the Faithful

“But whoever[b] takes refuge in me will possess the land,
    and will inherit my holy mountain.

    ‘Build up! Build up the road![d]
        Prepare the highway!

    who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy:
“He lives[e] in the height and in holiness,[f]
    and also with the one who is of a contrite and humble spirit,
to revive the spirit of the humble,
    and to revive the heart of the contrite.
