11 Who was it you dreaded and feared,

so that you lied and didn’t remember me

or take it to heart?

I have kept silent for a long time, haven’t I?E,e

So you do not fear me.

12 I will announce your righteousness,

and your works—they will not profit you.

13 When you cry out,

let your collection of idols rescue you!

The wind will carry all of them off,

a breath will take them away.

But whoever takes refuge in me

will inherit the landf

and possess my holy mountain.g

HEALING AND PEACE

14 He said,

“Build it up, build it up, prepare the way,

remove every obstacle from my people’s way.”h
