12I will expose your righteousness and your works, and they will not benefit you.


In Context

9 You went to Molech with olive oil and increased your perfumes. You sent your ambassadors far away; you descended to the grave itself!

10 You were wearied by all your ways, but you would not say, 'It is hopeless.' You found renewal of your strength, and so you did not faint.

11 "Whom have you so dreaded and feared that you have been false to me, and have neither remembered me nor pondered this in your hearts? Is it not because I have long been silent that you do not fear me?

12 I will expose your righteousness and your works, and they will not benefit you.

13 When you cry out for help, let your collection of idols save you! The wind will carry all of them off, a mere breath will blow them away. But the man who makes me his refuge will inherit the land and possess my holy mountain."

14 And it will be said: "Build up, build up, prepare the road! Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people."
