ISA-57:1 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth [it] to
heart: and merciful men [are] taken away, none considering that
the righteous is taken away from the evil [to come].
ISA-57:2 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their
beds, [each one] walking [in] his uprightness.
ISA-57:3 But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the
seed of the adulterer and the whore.
ISA-57:4 Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make
ye a wide mouth, [and] draw out the tongue? [are] ye not
children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,
ISA-57:5 Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree,
slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the
rocks?
ISA-57:6 Among the smooth [stones] of the stream [is] thy
portion; they, they [are] thy lot: even to them hast thou poured
a drink offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I
receive comfort in these?
ISA-57:7 Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed:
even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.
ISA-57:8 Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up
thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered [thyself to another]
than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made
thee [a covenant] with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou
sawest [it].
ISA-57:9 And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst
increase thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off,
and didst debase [thyself even] unto hell.
ISA-57:10 Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way; [yet]
saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of
thine hand; therefore thou wast not grieved.
ISA-57:11 And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou
hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid [it] to thy
heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me
not?
ISA-57:12 I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for
they shall not profit thee.
ISA-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;
ISA-57:14 And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way,
take up the stumbling block out of the way of my people.
ISA-57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth
eternity, whose name [is] Holy; I dwell in the high and holy
[place], with him also [that is] of a contrite and humble spirit,
to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of
the contrite ones.
ISA-57:16 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be
always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the
souls [which] I have made.
ISA-57:17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and
smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in
the way of his heart.
ISA-57:18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead
him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.
ISA-57:19 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to [him
that is] far off, and to [him that is] near, saith the LORD; and
I will heal him.
ISA-57:20 But the wicked [are] like the troubled sea, when it
cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
ISA-57:21 [There is] no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
