12 I will declare your righteousness
And your works,
For they will not profit you.

13 When you cry out,
Let your collection of idols deliver you.
But the wind will carry them all away,
A breath will take them.
But he who puts his trust in Me shall possess the land,
And shall inherit My holy mountain.”

15 For thus says the High and Lofty One
Who inhabits eternity, ^awhose name is Holy:
^b“I dwell in the high and holy place,
^cWith him who has a contrite and humble spirit,
^dTo revive the spirit of the humble,
And to revive the heart of the contrite ones. ‡

16 ^aFor I will not contend forever,
Nor will I always be angry;
For the spirit would fail before Me,
And the souls ^bwhich I have made. ‡
