Isaiah 57

Evil Leaders Rebuked

1

The righteoush6662 manh6662 perishesh6, and noh369 manh376  atakesh7760 it to hearth3820; And devouth2617a menh376 are takenh622 awayh622, while noh369 oneh369 understandsh995. For the righteoush6662 manh6662 is takenh622 awayh622 from  bevilh7463a,

2

He entersh935 into peaceh7965; They resth5117 in their  1bedsh4904, Each one who  awalkedh1980 in his uprighth5228 wayh5228.

3

"But comeh7126 hereh2008, you sonsh1121 of a  asorceressh6049a,  bOffspringh2233 of an adultererh5003 and  1a  cprostituteh2181.

4

"Againsth5921 whomh4310 do you jesth6026? Againsth5921 whomh4310 do you openh7337 wideh7337 your mouthh6310 And stickh748 out your tongueh3956? Are you not childrenh3206 of  arebellionh6588, Offspringh2233 of deceith8267,

5

Who inflameh2552 yourselves among the  1 aoaksh352d,  bUnderh8478 everyh3605 luxurianth7488 treeh6086, Who  cslaughterh7819 the childrenh3206 in the  2ravinesh5158a, Underh8478 the cleftsh5585 of the cragsh5553?

6

"Among the  1 asmoothh2509 stones of the  2ravineh5158a Is your portionh2506,  3they are your loth1486; Evenh1571 to them you have  bpouredh8210 out a drinkh5262a offeringh5262a, You have madeh5927 a grain offeringh4503. Shall I  4 crelenth5162 concerningh5921 theseh428 thingsh428?

7

"Upon a  ahighh1364 and loftyh5375 mountainh2022 You have  bmadeh7760 your bedh4904. You alsoh1571 wenth5927 up thereh8033 to offerh2076 sacrificeh2077.

8

"Behindh310 the doorh1817 and the doorposth4201 You have seth7760 up your signh2146; Indeedh3588, far removedh4480 from Me, you have  auncoveredh1540 yourself, And have goneh5927 up and madeh7337 your bedh4904 wideh7337. And you have madeh3772 an agreement for yourself with them, You have lovedh157 their  1bedh4904, You have lookedh2372 on their  2manhoodh3027.

9

"You have journeyedh7788 to the kingh4428 with oilh8081 And increasedh7235a your perfumesh7547; You have  asenth7971 your envoysh6735a a great distanceh7350 And made them goh8213 downh8213 to  1Sheolh7585.

10

"You were tiredh3021 out by the lengthh7230 of your roadh1870, Yet you did not sayh559, ` aIt is hopelessh2976.' You foundh4672  1renewedh2416a strengthh3027, Thereforeh5921h3651 you did not  2fainth2470a.

11

"Of  awhomh4310 were you worriedh1672 and fearfulh3372a Whenh3588 you liedh3576, and did  bnot rememberh2142 Me  1Norh3808  cgiveh7760 Me a thoughth3820? Was I not silenth2814 even for a longh5769 timeh5769 So you do not fearh3372a Me?

12

"I will  adeclareh5046 your righteousnessh6666 and your  bdeedsh4639, But they will not profith3276 you.

13

"When you cryh2199 out,  alet your collectionh6899 of idols deliverh5337 you. But the windh7307 will carryh5375 allh3605 of them up, And a breathh1892 will takeh3947 them away. But he who  btakesh2620 refugeh2620 in Me will  cinherith5157 the landh776 And will  dpossessh3423 My holyh6944 mountainh2022."

14

And it will be saidh559, " aBuildh5549 up, buildh5549 up, prepareh6437 the wayh1870, Removeh7311 every obstacleh4383 out of the wayh1870 of My peopleh5971a."

15

For thush3541 saysh559 the  ahighh7311 and exaltedh5375 One Who  1 blivesh7931 foreverh5703, whose nameh8034 is Holyh6918, "I  cdwellh7931 on a highh4791 and holyh6918 place, And also with the  dcontriteh1793a and lowlyh8217 of spirith7307 In order to  ereviveh2421a the spirith7307 of the lowlyh8217 And to reviveh2421a the hearth3820 of the contriteh1792.

16

"For I will  anot contendh7378 foreverh5769,  bNorh3808 will I alwaysh5331 be angryh7107; For the spirith7307 would growh5848c fainth5848c beforeh4480h6440 Me, And the  cbreathh5397 of those whom I have madeh6213a.

17

"Because of the iniquityh5771 of his  aunjusth1215 gainh1215 I was angryh7107 and struckh5221 him; I hidh5641 My face and was angryh7107, And he wenth1980 on  bturningh7726 awayh7726, in the wayh1870 of his hearth3820.

18

"I have seenh7200 his waysh1870, but I will  ahealh7495 him; I will  bleadh5148 him and  crestoreh7999a comforth5150 to him and to his mournersh57,

19

Creatingh1254a the  1 apraiseh5108 of the lipsh8193.  bPeaceh7965, peaceh7965 to him who is  cfarh7350 and to him who is nearh7138," Saysh559 the LORDh3068, "and I will healh7495 him."

20

But the  awickedh7563 are like the tossingh1644 seah3220, For it cannoth3201h3808 be quieth8252, And its watersh4325 tossh1644 up refuseh7516 and mudh2916.

21

aThereh369 is noh369 peaceh7965," saysh559  bmy Godh430, "for the wickedh7563."
