Isaiah 57:12-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹²I will declare thy justice, and thy works shall not profit thee.

¹³When thou shalt cry, let thy companies deliver thee, but the wind shall carry them all off, a breeze shall take them away, but he that putteth his trust in me, shall inherit the land, and shall possess my holy mount.

¹⁴And I will say: Make a way: give free passage, turn out of the path, take away the stumblingblocks out of the way of my people.

New International Version

¹²I will expose your righteousness and your works,^(A)
    and they will not benefit you.
¹³When you cry out^(B) for help,
    let your collection of idols save^(C) you!
The wind will carry all of them off,
    a mere breath will blow^(D) them away.
But whoever takes refuge^(E) in me
    will inherit the land^(F)
    and possess my holy mountain.”^(G)
