Isaiah 57:1-2
New American Standard Bible
Evil Leaders Rebuked
57 The righteous person perishes, and no one (A)takes it to heart;
And devout people are taken away, while no one understands.
For the righteous person is taken away from (B)evil,
2 He enters into peace;
They rest in their [a]beds,
Each one who (C)walked in his upright way.

Israel’s Futile Idolatry
57 The righteous man perishes,
and no one lays it to heart;

they rest in their beds
who walk in their uprightness.
