12. I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they shall not profit thee.
13. When thou criest, let thy companions deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that waits in me shall have the land by inheritance and shall possess the mountain of my holiness.
14. And shall say, Clear away, clear away, level the way, take away the stumblingblocks out of the way of my people.
15. For thus has said the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is The Holy One; I dwell in the high place and in holiness and with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit to cause the spirit of the humble to live and to cause the heart of the contrite ones to live.
16. For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for by me is the spirit covered by the body, and I have made the souls.
