Isaiah 57

1 The upright man goes to his death, and no one gives a thought to it; and god-fearing men are taken away, and no one is troubled by it; for the upright man is taken away because of evil-doing, and goes into peace.

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 They are at rest in their last resting-places, every one going straight before him.

He will go peace they will rest on beds their [one who] walks uprightness his.

3 But come near, you sons of her who is wise in secret arts, the seed of her who is false to her husband, and of the loose woman.

And you draw near hither O children of a soothsayer offspring adulterous and she has played [the] prostitute.

4 Of whom do you make sport? against whom is your mouth open wide and your tongue put out? are you not uncontrolled children, a false seed,

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 You who are burning with evil desire among the oaks, under every green tree; putting children to death in the valleys, under the cracks 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 your heritage; they, even they, are your part: even to them have you made a drink offering and a meal offering. Is it possible for such things to be overlooked by me?

[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 You have put your bed on a high mountain: there you went up to make your offering.

On a mountain high and lifted up you have set bed your also there you have gone up to sacrifice a sacrifice.

8 And on the back of the doors and on the pillars you have put your sign: for you have been false to me with another; you have made your bed wide, and made an agreement with them; you had a desire for their bed where you saw 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 you went to Melech with oil and much perfume, and you sent your representatives far off, and went as low as the underworld. (Sheol h7585)

And you journeyed to the king with oil and you increased perfumes your and you sent (envoys your *L(abh)*) to from a distance and you showed abasement to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)

10 You were tired with your long journeys; but you did not say, There is no hope: you got new strength, and so you were not feeble.

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 were you in fear, so that you were false, and did not keep me in mind, or give thought to it? Have I not been quiet, keeping myself secret, and so you were not in fear of me?

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 make clear what your righteousness is like and your works; you will have no profit in them.

I I will declare righteousness your and deeds your and not they will benefit you.

13 Your false gods will not keep you safe in answer to your cry; but the wind will take them, they will be gone like a breath: but he who puts his hope in me will take the land, and will have my holy mountain as his heritage.

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 I will say, Make it high, make it high, get ready the way, take the stones 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 this is the word of him who is high and lifted up, whose resting-place is eternal, whose name is Holy: my resting-place is in the high and holy place, and with him who is crushed and poor in spirit, to give life to the spirit of the poor, and to make strong the heart of the crushed.

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 give punishment for ever, or be angry without end: for from me breath goes out; and I it was who made the souls.

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 I was quickly angry with his evil ways, and sent punishment on him, veiling my face in wrath: and he went on, turning his heart from me.

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 I will make him well: I will give him rest, comforting him and his people who are sad.

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 will give the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him who is near and to him who is far off, says the Lord; and I will make him well.

[I am] about to create ([the] fruit *Q(K)*) Lips peace - peace to distant [person] and to near [person] he says Yahweh and I will heal him.

20 But the evil-doers are like the troubled sea, for which there is no rest, and its waters send up earth and waste.

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, says my God, for the evil-doers.

Not peace he says God my [belongs] to wicked [people].
