13 When you cry, let your companies deliver you; but the wind will carry them all away; vanity will take [them]: but he that puts his trust in me will possess the land, and will inherit my holy mountain;
14 And will say, Cast you up, cast you up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.
15 For this is what the most highly exalted and lifted up One says; who inhabits eternity, and whose name [is] Holy; I live in the place that is exalted and set apart, but also with the one that has a broken and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the soul of the broken ones.
