Isaiah 57:13-15
Evangelical Heritage Version
13 When you cry out for help,
let your collections of idols deliver you.
But the wind will blow them all away.
A breeze will take them away.
But the one who takes refuge in me will inherit the land.
He will possess my holy mountain.
14 I will say,[a]
“Build up, build up the highway.
Prepare the way.
Remove the stumbling block from the way of my people.”
15 Certainly this is what the High and Lofty One says,
the one who dwells with his people forever,
and whose name is holy:
I dwell in a high and holy place,
yet also with the one who is crushed and lowly in spirit,
in order to revive the spirit of those who have been pushed down,
and to revive the hearts of those who have been crushed.

Isaiah 57:13-15
New International Version
13 When you cry out(A) for help,
let your collection of idols save(B) you!
The wind will carry all of them off,
a mere breath will blow(C) them away.
But whoever takes refuge(D) in me
will inherit the land(E)
and possess my holy mountain.”(F)
Comfort for the Contrite
14 And it will be said:
“Build up, build up, prepare the road!(G)
Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people.”(H)
15 For this is what the high and exalted(I) One says—
he who lives forever,(J) whose name is holy:
“I live in a high(K) and holy place,
but also with the one who is contrite(L) and lowly in spirit,(M)
to revive the spirit of the lowly
and to revive the heart of the contrite.(N)
