# Isaiah 57 (New King James Version)
|
|
Israel's Futile Idolatry
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 57
|
|
###### 1 The righteous perishes,
|
|
And no man takes _it_ to heart;
|
|
Merciful men _are_ taken away,
|
|
While no one considers
|
|
That the righteous is taken away from evil.
|
|
|
|
###### 2 He shall enter into peace;
|
|
They shall rest in their beds,
|
|
_Each one_ walking _in_ his uprightness.
|
|
|
|
###### 3 "But come here,
|
|
You sons of the sorceress,
|
|
You offspring of the adulterer and the harlot!
|
|
|
|
###### 4 Whom do you ridicule?
|
|
Against whom do you make a wide mouth
|
|
_And_ stick out the tongue?
|
|
_Are_ you not children of transgression,
|
|
Offspring of falsehood,
|
|
|
|
###### 5 Inflaming yourselves with gods under every green tree,
|
|
Slaying the children in the valleys,
|
|
Under the clefts of the rocks?
|
|
|
|
###### 6 Among the smooth _stones_ of the stream
|
|
_Is_ your portion;
|
|
They, they, _are_ your lot!
|
|
Even to them you have poured a drink offering,
|
|
You have offered a grain offering.
|
|
Should I receive comfort in these?
|
|
|
|
###### 7 "On a lofty and high mountain
|
|
You have set your bed;
|
|
Even there you went up
|
|
To offer sacrifice.
|
|
|
|
###### 8 Also behind the doors and their posts
|
|
You have set up your remembrance;
|
|
For you have uncovered yourself _to those other_ than Me,
|
|
And have gone up to them;
|
|
You have enlarged your bed
|
|
And made _a covenant_ with them;
|
|
You have loved their bed,
|
|
Where you saw _their_ nudity.
|
|
|
|
###### 9 You went to the king with ointment,
|
|
And increased your perfumes;
|
|
You sent your messengers far off,
|
|
And _even_ descended to Sheol.
|
|
|
|
###### 10 You are wearied in the length of your way;
|
|
_Yet_ you did not say, 'There is no hope.'
|
|
You have found the life of your hand;
|
|
Therefore you were not grieved.
|
|
|
|
###### 11 "And of whom have you been afraid, or feared,
|
|
That you have lied
|
|
And not remembered Me,
|
|
Nor taken _it_ to your heart?
|
|
Is it not because I have held My peace from of old
|
|
That you do not fear Me?
|
|
|
|
###### 12 I will declare your righteousness
|
|
And your works,
|
|
For they will not profit you.
|
|
|
|
###### 13 When you cry out,
|
|
Let your collection _of idols_ deliver you.
|
|
But the wind will carry them all away,
|
|
A breath will take _them._
|
|
But he who puts his trust in Me shall possess the land,
|
|
And shall inherit My holy mountain."Healing for the Backslider
|
|
|
|
###### 14 And one shall say,
|
|
"Heap it up! Heap it up!
|
|
Prepare the way,
|
|
Take the stumbling block out of the way of My people."
|
|
|
|
###### 15 For thus says the High and Lofty One
|
|
Who inhabits eternity, whose name _is_ Holy:
|
|
"I dwell in the high and holy _place,_
|
|
With him _who_ has a contrite and humble spirit,
|
|
To revive the spirit of the humble,
|
|
And to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
|
|
|
|
###### 16 For I will not contend forever,
|
|
Nor will I always be angry;
|
|
For the spirit would fail before Me,
|
|
And the souls _which_ I have made.
|
|
|
|
###### 17 For the iniquity of his covetousness
|
|
I was angry and struck him;
|
|
I hid and was angry,
|
|
And he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.
|
|
|
|
###### 18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him;
|
|
I will also lead him,
|
|
And restore comforts to him
|
|
And to his mourners.
|
|
|
|
###### 19 "I create the fruit of the lips:
|
|
Peace, peace to _him who is_ far off and to _him who is_ near,"
|
|
Says the Lord,
|
|
"And I will heal him."
|
|
|
|
###### 20 But the wicked _are_ like the troubled sea,
|
|
When it cannot rest,
|
|
Whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
|
|
|
|
###### 21 "_There_ _is_ no peace,"
|
|
Says my God, "for the wicked."
