Isaías — Capítulo 57

KJVThe 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}. {merciful...: Heb. men of kindness, or, godliness} {from...: or, from that which is evil}

KJVHe shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, {each one} walking {in} his uprightness. {enter into: or, go in} {in his...: or, before him}

KJVBut draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.

KJVAgainst 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,

KJVEnflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks? {with...: or, among the oaks}

KJVAmong the smooth {stones} of the stream {is} thy portion; they, they {are} thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these?

KJVUpon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.

KJVBehind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: 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}. {made...: or, hewed it for thyself larger than theirs} {where...: or, thou providedst room}

KJVAnd thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off, and didst debase {thyself even} unto hell. {thou...: or, thou respectedst}

KJVThou art wearied in the greatness of thy way; {yet} saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thine hand; therefore thou wast not grieved. {life: or, living}

KJVAnd of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid {it} to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?

KJVI will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they shall not profit thee.

KJVWhen thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take {them}: but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;

KJVAnd shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.

KJVFor 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.

KJVFor 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.

KJVFor the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart. {frowardly: Heb. turning away}

KJVI have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.

KJVI 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.

KJVBut the wicked {are} like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

KJV{There is} no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
