I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they shall not profit thee.

The verse 12 is found in chapter 57 of Isaiah. The chapter denounces idolatry and corrupt religious practices in Israel, but also promises comfort to the humble and contrite. God dwells with the brokenhearted, so divine transcendence does not imply distance from human suffering. The absence of peace for the wicked closes the section by reminding us that restoration does not eliminate moral responsibility.

Ich will aber deine Gerechtigkeit anzeigen und deine Werke, daß sie dir nichts nütze sein sollen.
Yo publicaré tu justicia y tus obras, que no te aprovecharán.
Yo declararé tu justicia y tus obras, pero no te aprovecharán.
Je vais publier ta droiture, Et tes oeuvres ne te profiteront pas.
Io dichiarerò la tua giustizia, e le tue opere, che non ti gioveranno nulla
Eu publicarei a tua justiça, e as tuas obras, que não te aproveitarão.
我可以宣告你的公義和你的作為, 但它們與你無益。
