Isaiah 57:12-14

English Standard Version

¹² I will declare your righteousness and your deeds,
    but they will not profit you.
^13 (A)When you cry out, let your collection of idols deliver you!
    The wind will carry them all off,
    a breath will take them away.
^(B)But he who takes refuge in me shall possess the land
    and shall inherit ^(C)my holy mountain.

¹⁴ And it shall be said,
^(D)“Build up, build up, prepare the way,
    remove every obstruction from my people's way.”
