- "I¹ will declareª° thy righteousness,ª and thy works;ª for they shall not¹ profitª° thee. ... When thou criest,ª° let thy companiesª deliverª° thee; but the windª shall carry them all away;ª°¹¹ vanityª shall takeª° [them]: but he that putteth his trustª° in me shall possessª° the land,ª and shall inheritª° my holyª mountain;ª" {Isa 57:12-13} + "They hatchª° cockatrice'ª eggs,ª and weaveª° the spider'sª web:ª he that eatethª° of their eggsª¹ dieth,ª° and that which is crushedª breaketh outª° into a viper.ª ... Their websª shall not¹ become¹ garments,ª neither¹ shall they cover²° themselves¹ with their works:ª their worksª [are] worksª of iniquity,ª and the actª of violenceª [is] in their hands.ª" {Isa 59:5-6} + "But we are¹ all¹ as an uncleanª [thing], and all¹ our righteousnessesª [are] as filthyª rags;ª and we all¹ do fadeª°°²° as a leaf;ª and our iniquities,ª like the wind,ª have taken us away.ª°" {Isa 64:6} + "He that killethª° an oxª [is as if] he slewª° a man;ª he that sacrificethª° a lamb,ª [as if] he cut off²° a dog's² neck;ª°¹ he that offerethª° an oblation,ª [as if he offered] swine'sª blood;ª he that burnethª° incense,ª [as if] he blessedª° an idol.ª Yea,¹ they¹ have chosenª° their own ways,ª and their soulª delightethª° in their abominations.ª ... A voiceª of noiseª from the city,ª¹ a voiceª from the temple,ª¹ a voiceª of the LORDª that renderethª° recompenceª to his enemies.ª°" {Isa 66:3-6} + "Behold,¹ ye¹ trustª° in¹ lyingª words,ª that cannot¹ profit.ª° ... And comeª° and standª° beforeª me in this¹ house,ª which¹ is calledª° by¹ my name,ª and say,ª° We are delivered²° to doª°¹¹¹ all¹ these¹ abominations?ª" {Jer 7:8-10} + "Whatª shall we sayª° then?ª Thatª the Gentiles,ª whichª followedª° notª after righteousness,ª have attainedª° to righteousness,ª evenª the righteousnessª whichª is ofª faith.ª ... Wherefore?ª Becauseª [they sought it] notª byª faith,ª butª as² it were¹ byª the worksª of the law.ª Forª they stumbledª° at that stumblingstone;ªª" {Rom 9:30-32} + "Forª the¹ preachingª of¹ the¹ crossª isª° to them² that perishª°¹ foolishness;ª butª unto usª which¹ are savedª° it isª° the powerª of God.ª ... That,ª according asª it is written,ª° He¹ that glorieth,ª° let him gloryª° inª the Lord.ª" {1Co 1:18-31}
