Isaiah 57:12-14
New International Version
Isaiah 57:12-14
New International Version
12 I will expose your righteousness and your works,(A)
and they will not benefit you.
13 When 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)
Comfort for the Contrite

Isaiah 57:12-14
Amplified Bible
12
“I will declare your [hypocritical] righteousness and your deeds,
But they will not benefit you.
13
“When you cry out [for help], let your [ridiculous] collection of idols save you.
But the wind will carry them all away,
A [mere] breath will take them.
But he who takes refuge in Me will possess the land [Judea]
And will inherit My holy mountain.”(A)
14
And it will be said,
“Build up, build up, clear the way.
Remove the stumbling block out of the way [of the spiritual return] of My people.”
Isaiah 57:12-14

Isaiah 57:12-14
New Living Translation
12 Now I will expose your so-called good deeds.
None of them will help you.
13 Let’s see if your idols can save you
when you cry to them for help.
Why, a puff of wind can knock them down!
If you just breathe on them, they fall over!
But whoever trusts in me will inherit the land
and possess my holy mountain.”
God Forgives the Repentant
14 God says, “Rebuild the road!
Clear away the rocks and stones
so my people can return from captivity.”
Isaiah 57:12-14

Isaiah 57:12-14
Common English Bible
12 I will bring evidence about your righteousness and your actions;
they won’t help you.
13 When you cry out,
let those things you’ve gathered save you!
The wind will lift them all;
one breath will take them away.
but those taking refuge in me will inherit the land and possess my holy mountain.
Peace for the remorseful
14 It will be said: “Survey, survey; build a road!
Remove barriers from my people’s road!”
