Isaiah 57:12-14
Expanded Bible
12 I will tell about your ‘·goodness [righteousness]’ and ·what you do [your works],
and those things will ·do you no good [not profit/help you].
13 When you cry out for help,
let ·the gods you have gathered [your collection of idols] ·help [save; rescue] you.
The wind will blow them all away;
just a ·puff of wind [breath] will take them away.
But the person who depends on me will ·receive [inherit] the land
and ·own [possess] my holy mountain.”
The Lord Will Save His People
14 Someone will say, “Build ·a road [up; or it]! Build ·a road [up; or it]! Prepare the way [40:3; 62:10]!
·Make the way clear [Remove the obstacles] for my people.”
Isaiah 57:12-14
New International Version
12 I will expose your righteousness and your works,(A)
and they will not benefit you.
13 When you cry out(B) for help,
let your collection of idols save(C) you!
The wind will carry all of them off,
a mere breath will blow(D) them away.
But whoever takes refuge(E) in me
will inherit the land(F)
and possess my holy mountain.”(G)
Comfort for the Contrite
