Isaiah

Isaiah 57:12–13

12I will expose your righteousness and your works,

and they will not profit you.

13When you cry out,

let your companies of idols deliver you!

Yet the wind will carry off all of them,

a breath will take them away.

But he who seeks refuge in Me will inherit the land

and possess My holy mountain.”
