Isaiah 57:1-3
Evangelical Heritage Version
There Will Be Peace for the Righteous Even in Death
57
The righteous one perishes,
but no one takes it to heart.
Men of mercy[a] are being taken away,
but no one understands
that the righteous one is being spared from evil.
2 He will enter into peace.
They will rest on their beds.
He is walking in his uprightness.[b]
The Coming Judgment Against Israel’s Leaders
3 But you there, come closer,
you children of a witch,
you offspring of an adulterer and a prostitute.
Footnotes
- Isaiah 57:1 Men of mercy are the recipients and dispensers of mercy.
- Isaiah 57:2 The alternation of singular and plural forms (he and they) in verses 1 and 2 is not unusual in Hebrew poetry. It does not necessarily refer to two different groups.
