10 You were wearied with the length of your ways;yet you didn’t say, ‘It is in vain.’You found a reviving of your strength;therefore you weren’t faint.
11 “Whom have you dreaded and feared,so that you lie,and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart?Haven’t I held my peace for a long time,and you don’t fear me?
12 I will declare your righteousness;and as for your works, they will not benefit you.
13 When you cry,let those whom you have gathered deliver you;but the wind will take them.a breath will carry them all away:but he who takes refuge in me will possess the land,and will inherit my holy mountain.”
14 He will say, “Build up, build up, prepare the way!Remove the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.”
15 For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity,whose name is Holy:“I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit,to revive the spirit of the humble,and to revive the heart of the contrite.
16 For I will not contend forever, neither will I always be angry;for the spirit would faint before me,and the souls whom I have made.
