updv@Isaiah:57:1 @ The righteous perishes, and no man lays it to heart; and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil [to come].

updv@Isaiah:57:2 @ He enters into peace; they rest in their beds, each one who walks in his uprightness.

updv@Isaiah:57:3 @ But draw near here, you(note:){+}(:note) sons of the psychic, the seed of the adulterer and the prostitute.

updv@Isaiah:57:4 @ Against whom do you(note:){+}(:note) sport yourselves? Against whom do you{+} make a wide mouth, and put out the tongue? Are you{+} not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,

updv@Isaiah:57:5 @ you(note:){+}(:note) who inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green tree; who slay the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?

updv@Isaiah:57:6 @ Among the smooth [stones] of the valley is your portion; they, they are your lot; even to them you have poured a drink-offering, you have offered an oblation. Shall I be appeased for these things?

updv@Isaiah:57:7 @ On a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed; there also you went up to offer sacrifice.

updv@Isaiah:57:8 @ And behind the doors and the posts you have set up your memorial: for you have uncovered [yourself] to other than me, and have gone up; you have enlarged your bed, and you made a covenant with them: you have loved their bed, you have looked at the hand.

updv@Isaiah:57:9 @ And you went to the king with oil, and increased your perfumes, and sent your ambassadors far off, and debased yourself even to Sheol.

updv@Isaiah:57:10 @ You were wearied with the length of your way; yet you didn't say, It is in vain: you found a quickening of your strength; therefore you were not faint.

updv@Isaiah:57:11 @ And of whom have you been afraid and in fear, that you lie, and haven't remembered me, nor laid it to your heart? Haven't I held my peace even of long time, and you don't fear me?

updv@Isaiah:57:12 @ I will declare your righteousness; and as for your works, they will not profit you.

updv@Isaiah:57:13 @ When you cry, let those who you have gathered deliver you; but the wind will take them, a breath will carry them all away: but he who takes refuge in me will possess the land, and will inherit my holy mountain.

updv@Isaiah:57:14 @ And he will say, Cast(note:){+}(:note) up, cast{+} up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.

updv@Isaiah:57:15 @ For thus says the high and lofty One who stays eternally, whose name is Holy: I stay in the high and holy place, and with him who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

updv@Isaiah:57:16 @ For I will not contend forever, neither will I always be angry; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls who I have made.

updv@Isaiah:57:17 @ For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry, and struck him; I hid [my face] and was angry; and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.

updv@Isaiah:57:18 @ I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.

updv@Isaiah:57:19 @ I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him who is far off and to him who is near, says Yahweh; and I will heal him.

updv@Isaiah:57:20 @ But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it can't rest, and its waters cast up mire and dirt.

updv@Isaiah:57:21 @ There is no peace, says my God, to the wicked.
