Isaiah 57:12-14
Lexham English Bible
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]
Peace for the Contrite
14 And one shall say, “Build up, build up! Clear the way!
Remove the obstacles[e] from the way of my people!”
