Isaiah 57:1-3

English Standard Version

Israel's Futile Idolatry

57 The righteous man perishes,
    and no one lays it to heart;
^(A)devout men are taken away,
    while no one understands.
For the righteous man is taken away from calamity;
²    ^(B)he enters into peace;
they rest ^(C)in their beds
    who walk in their uprightness.
³But you, draw near,
    sons of the sorceress,
    ^(D)offspring of the adulterer and the loose woman.
