Isaiah 57:1-2
World English Bible
57 The righteous perish,
and no one lays it to heart.
Merciful men are taken away,
and no one considers that the righteous is taken away from the evil.
2 He enters into peace.
They rest in their beds,
each one who walks in his uprightness.

Israel’s Idolatry
57 “Also[a] the righteous are perishing,[b]
but no one takes it to heart;
devout people[c] are taken away,
while no one understands
that the righteous person is taken away from calamity.
2 Then[d] he enters into peace,
and[e] they’ll rest on his[f] couches,
each one living righteously.[g]
