Things Which Cannot Save

Our eyes do yet fail [in looking] for our vain help: In our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save.

Then shall the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem go and cry to the gods to which they offer incense: but they will not save them at all in the time of their trouble.

They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be as an unclean thing; their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Yahweh: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels; because it has been the stumbling block of their iniquity.

You, son of man, tell the children of your people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his disobedience; and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither shall he who is righteous be able to live thereby in the day that he sins.

Assyria can't save us. We won't ride on horses; neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, 'Our gods!' for in you the fatherless finds mercy."

Where is your king now, that he may save you in all your cities? And your judges, of whom you said, 'Give me a king and princes?'

There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"

What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?
