Isaiah 57:1-2
New King James Version
Israel’s Futile Idolatry
57 The righteous perishes,
And no man takes it to heart;
(A)Merciful men are taken away,
(B)While no one considers
That the righteous is taken away from [a]evil.
2 He shall enter into peace;
They shall rest in (C)their beds,
Each one walking in his uprightness.

17 “Or if (F)I bring a sword on that land, and say, ‘Sword, go through the land,’ and I (G)cut off man and beast from it, 18 even (H)though these three men were in it, as I live,” says the Lord God, “they would deliver neither sons nor daughters, but only they themselves would be delivered.
19 “Or if I send (I)a pestilence into that land and (J)pour out My fury on it in blood, and cut off from it man and beast, 20 even (K)though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live,” says the Lord God, “they would deliver neither son nor daughter; they would deliver only themselves by their righteousness.”
