12 I myself will declare your righteousness and your works,
    but[a] they will not benefit you.
13 When you cry,[b] let your collection deliver you,
    and the wind will carry all of them away;
    a breath will take them away.
But[c] he who takes refuge in me shall take possession of the land,
    and he shall inherit my holy mountain.”[d]

Peace for the Contrite

14 And one shall say, “Build up, build up! Clear the way!
    Remove the obstacles[e] from the way of my people!”
