11“Of whom were you worried and fearful
         When you lied, and did not remember Me
         Nor give Me a thought?
         Was I not silent even for a long time
         So you do not fear Me?

12“I will declare your righteousness and your deeds,
         But they will not profit you.

13“When you cry out, let your collection of idols deliver you.
         But the wind will carry all of them up,
         And a breath will take them away.
         But he who takes refuge in Me will inherit the land
         And will possess My holy mountain.”

14And it will be said,
         “Build up, build up, prepare the way,
         Remove every obstacle out of the way of My people.”

15For thus says the high and exalted One
         Who lives forever, whose name is Holy,
         “I dwell on a high and holy place,
         And also with the contrite and lowly of spirit
         In order to revive the spirit of the lowly
         And to revive the heart of the contrite.

16“For I will not contend forever,
         Nor will I always be angry;
         For the spirit would grow faint before Me,
         And the breath of those whom I have made.

17“Because of the iniquity of his unjust gain I was angry and struck him;
         I hid My face and was angry,
         And he went on turning away, in the way of his heart.

18“I have seen his ways, but I will heal him;
         I will lead him and restore comfort to him and to his mourners,

19Creating the praise of the lips.
         Peace, peace to him who is far and to him who is near,”
         Says the LORD, “and I will heal him.”

20But the wicked are like the tossing sea,
         For it cannot be quiet,
         And its waters toss up refuse and mud.

21“There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”
