Isaiah 57:12-14

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹² I will concede your righteousness and your works,
    but they will not help you.
¹³ When you cry out, let your collection of idols deliver you!
    The wind will carry them off,
    a breath will take them away.
But whoever takes refuge in me shall possess the land
    and inherit my holy mountain.

¹⁴ It shall be said,
“Build up, build up, prepare the way,
    remove every obstruction from my people’s way.”
