Isaiah 57:13 - Exposition

When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee . Then, when she thus cries, let her mixture of gods ( Isaiah 57:8 ), if they can, deliver her; they will fail utterly to do so. The wind —or rather, a breath— shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them . The idol gods shall be shown to be wholly futile, unable to save, incapable of rendering any the slightest assistance. But he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land . If, however, at that dread hour, there be any among the people who are not idolaters, but "trust in Jehovah," the crisis shall turn to their advantage. They shall "possess the land," i.e. have the promised land for their inheritance ( Deuteronomy 4:1 ; Deuteronomy 5:33 ; Psalms 37:11-29 , etc.); and inherit Zion, God's holy mountain.
