Evil Leaders Rebuked

57 The righteous man perishes, and no man (A)puts it upon his heart;
And men of lovingkindness are gathered away, while no one understands.
For the righteous man is gathered away from (B)evil,
He enters into peace;
They rest in their [a]beds,
Each one who (C)walked in his upright way.

Footnotes

  1. Isaiah 57:2 Graves

57 The righteous person perishes,
    and no one takes it to heart.
Loyal people are gathered together,
    and no one understands that because of evil
    the righteous one passed away.
They will find peace;
    those who walk in straight paths
    will find rest on their burial beds.
