< Isaiah 57 >

1 The righteous perisheth and no man layeth it to heart; and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil [to come].
The righteous [person] he has perished and there not [is] anyone [who] puts on heart and people of loyalty [are] being removed when there not [is one who] understands that from before evil he is removed the righteous [person].
2 He entereth into peace; they rest in their beds, each one that walketh in his uprightness.
He will go peace they will rest on beds their [one who] walks uprightness his.
3 But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.
And you draw near hither O children of a soothsayer offspring adulterous and she has played [the] prostitute.
4 Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,
On whom? are you making fun on whom? do you make wide a mouth do you make long? a tongue ¿ not [are] you children of transgression of spring of deception.
5 ye that inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green tree; that slay the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
Who inflame yourselves among the oaks under every tree luxuriant [who] slaughter children in the wadis under [the] clefts of the cliffs.
6 Among the smooth [stones] of the valley is thy portion; they, they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast offered an oblation. Shall I be appeased for these things?
[is] among [the] smooth [stones] of [the] wadi Portion your they they [are] allotted portion your also to them you have poured out a drink offering you have offered up a grain offering ¿ on these [things] will I relent.
7 Upon a high and lofty mountain hast thou set thy bed: thither also wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.
On a mountain high and lifted up you have set bed your also there you have gone up to sacrifice a sacrifice.
8 And behind the doors and the posts hast thou set up thy memorial: for thou hast discovered [thyself] to another than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee a covenant with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest it.
And behind the door and the doorpost you have set up memorial your for from with me you have uncovered and you have gone up you have made wide bed your and you have cut off for yourself from them you have loved bed their a hand you have seen.
9 And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thine ambassadors far off, and didst debase thyself even unto hell. (Sheol h7585)
And you journeyed to the king with oil and you increased perfumes your and you sent envoys your to from a distance and you showed abasement to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
10 Thou wast wearied with the length of thy way; yet saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou didst find a quickening of thy strength; therefore thou wast not faint.
With [the] greatness of journey your you became weary not you said despairing [the] life of hand your you found there-fore not you became weak.
11 And of whom hast thou been afraid and in fear, that thou liest, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of long time, and fearest me not?
And whom? did you dread and did you fear? that you will lie and me not you remembered not you put [it] on heart your ¿ not [am] I silent and from long ago and me not you fear.
12 I will declare thy righteousness; and as for thy works, they shall not profit thee.
I I will declare righteousness your and deeds your and not they will benefit you.
13 When thou criest, let them which thou hast gathered deliver thee; but the wind shall take them, a breath shall carry them all away: but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain.
When cry out you let them deliver you collection your and all of them it will carry away a wind it will take [them] away a breath and the [one who] takes refuge in me he will inherit [the] land so he may possess [the] mountain of holiness my.
14 And he shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.
And someone will say build up build up make clear [the] way lift up obstacle[s] from [the] way of people my.
15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
For thus he says [the] high [one] and [the] exalted [one] [the one who] dwells perpetuity and [is] holy name his a high place and a holy [place] I dwell and with a [person] contrite and a [person] lowly of spirit to restore [the] spirit of lowly [people] and to restore [the] heart of contrite [people].
16 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.
For not for ever I will conduct a case and not to perpetuity I will be angry for spirit from to before me it will grow faint and breaths [which] I I made.
17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth and smote him, I hid [my face] and was wroth: and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.
In [the] iniquity of unjust gain his I was angry and I struck him I hid and I may be angry and he walked apostate in [the] way of own heart his.
18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.
Ways his I have seen and I will heal him and I will lead him and I may restore comfort to him and to mourners his.
19 I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him that is far off and to him that is near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him.
[I am] about to create ([the] fruit *QK) Lips peace - peace to distant [person] and to near [person] he says Yahweh and I will heal him.
20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it cannot rest, and its waters cast up mire and dirt.
And the wicked [people] [are] like the sea tossed for to be quiet not it is able and they have tossed up waters its mire and mud.
21 There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
Not peace he says God my [belongs] to wicked [people].
