Isaiah 57:1-2
Revised Standard Version
Israel’s Futile Idolatry
57 The righteous man perishes,
and no one lays it to heart;
devout men are taken away,
while no one understands.
For the righteous man is taken away from calamity,
2 he enters into peace;
they rest in their beds
who walk in their uprightness.
Isaiah 57:1-2
American Standard Version
57 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart; and [a]merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away [b]from the evil to come. 2 He entereth into peace; they rest in their beds, each one that walketh [c]in his uprightness.
