Isaiah 37:1

37:1 When King Hezekiah heard this, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and went to the Lord’s temple.

Isaiah 57:2

57:2 Those who live uprightly enter a place of peace;

they rest on their beds.


tn The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

tn Heb “he enters peace, they rest on their beds, the one who walks straight ahead of himself.” The tomb is here viewed in a fairly positive way as a place where the dead are at peace and sleep undisturbed.
