13 When you cry out, (A)let your collection of idols save you.
But the wind will carry them all up,
And a breath will take them away.
But the one who (B)takes refuge in Me will (C)inherit the land
And (D)possess My holy mountain.”

14 And it will be said,
(E)Build up, build up, prepare the way,
Remove every obstacle from the way of My people.”
15 For this is what the (F)high and exalted One
Who [a](G)lives forever, whose name is Holy, says:
“I (H)dwell in a high and holy place,
And also with the (I)contrite and lowly of spirit
In order to (J)revive the spirit of the lowly
And to revive the heart of the contrite.
