isaiah 57:13 When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;

isaiah 57:13 "When you cry out, let your collection [of idols] deliver you. But the wind will carry all of them up, And a breath will take [them away]. But he who takes refuge in Me shall inherit the land,And shall possess My holy mountain."

13. When thou criest--In the time of thy trouble.
companies--namely, of idols, collected by thee from every quarter; or else, of foreigners, summoned to thy aid.
wind . . . carry . . . away-- (Job 21:18; Mt 7:27).
vanity--rather, "a breath" [LOWTH].
possess . . . land . . . inherit--that is, the literal land of Judea and Mount Zion; the believing remnant of Israel shall return and inherit the land. Secondarily, the heavenly inheritance, and the spiritual Zion (Isa 49:8; Ps 37:9, 11; 69:35, 36; Mt 5:5; Heb 12:22). "He that putteth his trust in Me," of whatever extraction, shall succeed to the spiritual patrimony of the apostate Jew [HORSLEY].

isaiah 57:13 "When you cry out, let your collection [of idols] deliver you. But the wind will carry all of them up, And a breath will take [them away]. But he who takes refuge in Me shall inherit the land,And shall possess My holy mountain."
