Isaiah 57
The
righteous
a
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.
2 He
shall
enter
into
a
peace:
they
shall
rest
in
their
beds,
each
one
walking
in
his
uprightness.
3 But
draw
near
hither,
ye
a
sons
of
the
sorceress,
the
seed
of
the
b
adulterer
and
the
whore.
4 Against
whom
do
ye
sport
yourselves?
against
whom
make
ye
a
wide
mouth,
and
draw
out
the
tongue?
are
ye
not
a
children
of
transgression,
a
seed
of
falsehood,
5 Enflaming
yourselves
with
a
idols
under
every
green
tree,
b
slaying
the
c
children
in
the
valleys
under
the
clifts
of
the
rocks?
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?
7 Upon
a
lofty
and
high
mountain
hast
thou
set
thy
a
bed:
even
thither
wentest
thou
up
to
offer
sacrifice.
8 Behind
the
doors
also
and
the
posts
hast
thou
set
up
thy
remembrance:
for
thou
hast
a
discovered
thyself
to
b
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.
9 And
thou
wentest
to
the
a
king
with
ointment,
and
didst
increase
thy
perfumes,
and
didst
send
thy
messengers
far
off,
and
didst
debase
thyself
even
unto
hell.
10 Thou
art
wearied
in
the
greatness
of
thy
way;
yet
saidst
thou
not,
There
is
no
a
hope:
thou
hast
found
the
b
life
of
thine
hand;
therefore
thou
wast
not
grieved.
11 And
of
whom
hast
thou
been
afraid
or
a
feared,
that
thou
hast
b
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?
12 I
will
a
declare
thy
righteousness,
and
thy
works;
for
they
shall
not
profit
thee.
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
a
mountain;
14
a
And
shall
say,
Cast
ye
up,
cast
ye
up,
b
prepare
the
way,
take
up
the
c
stumblingblock
out
of
the
way
of
my
people.
15 For
thus
saith
the
high
and
lofty
One
that
inhabiteth
a
eternity,
whose
name
is
b
Holy;
I
dwell
in
the
high
and
holy
place,
with
him
also
that
is
of
a
c
contrite
and
d
humble
spirit,
to
e
revive
the
spirit
of
the
f
humble,
and
to
revive
the
heart
of
the
contrite
ones.
16 For
I
will
not
a
contend
for
ever,
neither
will
I
be
always
wroth:
for
the
spirit
should
fail
before
me,
and
the
b
souls
which
I
have
made.
17 For
the
a
iniquity
of
his
b
covetousness
was
I
wroth,
and
smote
him:
I
hid
me,
and
was
wroth,
and
he
went
on
c
frowardly
in
the
way
of
his
heart.
18 I
have
seen
his
ways,
and
will
heal
him:
I
will
a
lead
him
also,
and
restore
b
comforts
unto
him
and
to
his
c
mourners.
19 I
create
the
a
fruit
of
the
lips;
Peace,
peace
to
him
that
is
b
far
off,
and
to
him
that
is
near,
saith
the
Lord;
and
I
will
heal
him.
20 But
the
a
wicked
are
like
the
troubled
sea,
when
it
cannot
rest,
whose
waters
cast
up
mire
and
dirt.
21 There
is
no
a
peace,
saith
my
God,
to
the
wicked.
