Isaiah 57:1-21

57:1

The righteous
<06662>

perisheth
<06> (8804)_,

and no man
<0376>

layeth
<07760> (8802)

[it] to heart
<03820>_:

and merciful
<02617>

men
<0582>

[are] taken away
<0622> (8737)_,

none considering
<0995> (8688)

that the righteous
<06662>

is taken away
<0622> (8738)

from
<06440>

the evil
<07451>

[to come]. {merciful...: Heb. men of kindness, or, godliness} {from...: or, from that which is evil}

57:2

He shall enter
<0935> (8799)

into peace
<07965>_:

they shall rest
<05117> (8799)

in their beds
<04904>_,

[each one] walking
<01980> (8802)

[in] his uprightness
<05228>_.

{enter into: or, go in} {in his...: or, before him}

57:3

But draw near
<07126> (8798)

hither, ye sons
<01121>

of the sorceress
<06049> (8781)_,

the seed
<02233>

of the adulterer
<05003> (8764)

and the whore
<02181> (8799)_.

57:4

Against whom do ye sport
<06026> (8691)

yourselves? against whom make ye a wide
<07337> (8686)

mouth
<06310>_,

[and] draw out
<0748> (8686)

the tongue
<03956>_?

[are] ye not children
<03206>

of transgression
<06588>_,

a seed
<02233>

of falsehood
<08267>_,

57:5

Enflaming
<02552> (8737)

yourselves with idols
<0410>

under every green
<07488>

tree
<06086>_,

slaying
<07819> (8802)

the children
<03206>

in the valleys
<05158>

under the clifts
<05585>

of the rocks
<05553>_?

{with...: or, among the oaks}

57:6

Among the smooth
<02511>

[stones] of the stream
<05158>

[is] thy portion
<02506>_;

they, they [are] thy lot
<01486>_:

even to them hast thou poured
<08210> (8804)

a drink offering
<05262>_,

thou hast offered
<05927> (8689)

a meat offering
<04503>_.

Should I receive comfort
<05162> (8735)

in these?

57:7

Upon a lofty
<01364>

and high
<05375> (8737)

mountain
<02022>

hast thou set
<07760> (8804)

thy bed
<04904>_:

even thither wentest thou up
<05927> (8804)

to offer
<02076> (8800)

sacrifice
<02077>_.

57:8

Behind
<0310>

the doors
<01817>

also and the posts
<04201>

hast thou set up
<07760> (8804)

thy remembrance
<02146>_:

for thou hast discovered
<01540> (8765)

[thyself to another] than me, and art gone up
<05927> (8799)_;

thou hast enlarged
<07337> (8689)

thy bed
<04904>_,

and made
<03772> (8799)

thee [a covenant] with them; thou lovedst
<0157> (8804)

their bed
<04904>

where
<03027>

thou sawest
<02372> (8804)

[it]. {made...: or, hewed it for thyself larger than theirs} {where...: or, thou providedst room}

57:9

And thou wentest
<07788> (8799)

to the king
<04428>

with ointment
<08081>_,

and didst increase
<07235> (8686)

thy perfumes
<07547>_,

and didst send
<07971> (8762)

thy messengers
<06735>

far off
<07350>_,

and didst debase
<08213> (8686)

[thyself even] unto hell
<07585>_.

{thou...: or, thou respectedst}

57:10

Thou art wearied
<03021> (8804)

in the greatness
<07230>

of thy way
<01870>_;

[yet] saidst
<0559> (8804)

thou not, There is no hope
<02976> (8737)_:

thou hast found
<04672> (8804)

the life
<02416>

of thine hand
<03027>_;

therefore thou wast not grieved
<02470> (8804)_.

{life: or, living}

57:11

And of whom hast thou been afraid
<01672> (8804)

or feared
<03372> (8799)_,

that thou hast lied
<03576> (8762)_,

and hast not remembered
<02142> (8804)

me, nor laid
<07760> (8804)

[it] to thy heart
<03820>_?

have not I held my peace
<02814> (8688)

even of old
<05769>_,

and thou fearest
<03372> (8799)

me not?

57:12

I will declare
<05046> (8686)

thy righteousness
<06666>_,

and thy works
<04639>_;

for they shall not profit
<03276> (8686)

thee.

57:13

When thou criest
<02199> (8800)_,

let thy companies
<06899>

deliver
<05337> (8686)

thee; but the wind
<07307>

shall carry them all away
<05375> (8799)_;

vanity
<01892>

shall take
<03947> (8799)

[them]: but he that putteth his trust
<02620> (8802)

in me shall possess
<05157> (8799)

the land
<0776>_,

and shall inherit
<03423> (8799)

my holy
<06944>

mountain
<02022>_;

57:14

And shall say
<0559> (8804)_,

Cast ye up
<05549> (8798)_,

cast ye up
<05549> (8798)_,

prepare
<06437> (8761)

the way
<01870>_,

take up
<07311> (8685)

the stumblingblock
<04383>

out of the way
<01870>

of my people
<05971>_.

57:15

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the high
<07311> (8802)

and lofty One
<05375> (8737)

that inhabiteth
<07931> (8802)

eternity
<05703>_,

whose name
<08034>

[is] Holy
<06918>_;

I dwell
<07931> (8799)

in the high
<04791>

and holy
<06918>

[place], with him also [that is] of a contrite
<01793>

and humble
<08217>

spirit
<07307>_,

to revive
<02421> (8687)

the spirit
<07307>

of the humble
<08217>_,

and to revive
<02421> (8687)

the heart
<03820>

of the contrite ones
<01792> (8737)_.

57:16

For I will not contend
<07378> (8799)

for ever
<05769>_,

neither will I be always
<05331>

wroth
<07107> (8799)_:

for the spirit
<07307>

should fail
<05848> (8799)

before
<06440>

me, and the souls
<05397>

[which] I have made
<06213> (8804)_.

57:17

For the iniquity
<05771>

of his covetousness
<01215>

was I wroth
<07107> (8804)_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

him: I hid
<05641> (8687)

me, and was wroth
<07107> (8799)_,

and he went on
<03212> (8799)

frowardly
<07726>

in the way
<01870>

of his heart
<03820>_.

{frowardly: Heb. turning away}

57:18

I have seen
<07200> (8804)

his ways
<01870>_,

and will heal
<07495> (8799)

him: I will lead
<05148> (8686)

him also, and restore
<07999> (8762)

comforts
<05150>

unto him and to his mourners
<057>_.

57:19

I create
<01254> (8802)

the fruit
<05108>

of the lips
<08193>_;

Peace
<07965>_,

peace
<07965>

to [him that is] far off
<07350>_,

and to [him that is] near
<07138>_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

and I will heal
<07495> (8804)

him.

57:20

But the wicked
<07563>

[are] like the troubled
<01644> (8737)

sea
<03220>_,

when it cannot
<03201> (8799)

rest
<08252> (8687)_,

whose waters
<04325>

cast up
<01644> (8799)

mire
<07516>

and dirt
<02916>_.

57:21

[There is] no peace
<07965>_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

my God
<0430>_,

to the wicked
<07563>_.
