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;
    (B)he enters into peace;
they rest (C)in their beds
    who walk in their uprightness.

Idolatry is Adultery

57 The righteous one perishes, and there is no one who takes[a] it to heart.

for the righteous is gathered from the presence of wickedness.
    he enters into peace;
they will rest on their beds,
    walking straight ahead of him.
