10. Though worn out with the length of your journey,you never said, “It is hopeless”;You found your strength revived,and so you did not weaken.
11. Whom did you dread and fear,that you told lies,And me you did not remembernor take to heart?Am I to keep silent and conceal,while you show no fear of me?
12. I will proclaim your justiceand your works;but they shall not help you.
13. When you cry out,let your collection of idols save you.All these the wind shall carry off,a mere breath shall bear them away;But whoever takes refuge in me shall inherit the land,and possess my holy mountain.
14. And I say:Build up, build up, prepare the way,remove every obstacle from my people’s way.
15. For thus says the high and lofty One,the One who dwells forever, whose name is holy:I dwell in a high and holy place,but also with the contrite and lowly of spirit,To revive the spirit of the lowly,to revive the heart of the crushed.
16. For I will not accuse forever,nor always be angry;For without me their spirit fails,the life breath that I have given.
