ULT ISA Chapter 57

◄ ISA 57 ► ║ ═ ©

57 The righteous perishes,

but there is no man setting it on the heart,

and the men of covenant faithfulness are assembled,

with no one understanding

that from the face of evil

the righteous is assembled.

2 He enters peace,

they rest on their beds,

the one walking in his uprightness.

3 “But you, come near here,

sons of a sorceress,

seed of an adulterer, and she whored.

4 Against whom do you delight yourselves?

Against whom do you make wide the mouth,

do you make long the tongue?

Are you not children of transgression,

seed of falsehood,

5 ones inflaming yourselves among the oaks,

under every green tree,

slaughterers of children in wadis,

under clefts of rocks?

6 Among the smooth of the wadi is your portion;

they, they are your lot.

Even to them you pour out a drink offering,

you raise up a grain offering.

Shall I relent over these?

7 You set your bed on a high and uplifted mountain.

You go up even there to sacrifice a sacrifice.

8 And you set your memorial

behind the door and the doorpost.

For away from me you uncover yourself and go up;

you make wide your bed,

and you cut a covenant for yourself with them.

You love their bed; you see a hand.

9 And you turn to Molech with oil,

and you multiply your perfumes.

And you send your envoys to faraway,

and you lower yourself to Sheol.

10 In the greatness of your way you become tired;

you do not say, ‘Despairing!’

You find the life of your hand;

therefore you do not weaken.

11 And whom do you dread and fear,

that you lie and do not remember me,

you do not set to your heart?

Is it not me being silent

even from eternity

that you do not fear me?

12 I, I will declare your righteousness and your deeds,

and they will not benefit you.

13 When you cry out, let your collection deliver you!

But the wind will carry all of them away,

a breath will take them.

But the one taking refuge in me will inherit the land,

and he will possess the mountain of my holiness.”

14 And one will say,

“Build up, build up! Prepare a way!

Lift the stumbling block from the way of my people!”

15 For thus says the high and uplifted one,

dwelling forever, and holy is his name:

“I dwell in the height and in the holy,

and with the crushed and the lowly of spirit,

to make alive the spirit of the lowly

and to make alive the heart of the crushed.

16 For I will not contend to eternity,

and I will not be angry for ever,

for the spirit would faint from to my face

and the breaths I, I have made.

17 For the iniquity of his gain,

I was angry, and I struck him;

I hid, and I was angry,

but he went backward

in the way of his heart.

18 I have seen his ways, and I will heal him,

and I will lead him,

and I will restore comforts to him

and to his mourners,

19 creating the fruit of the lips.

Peace, peace to the faraway and to the near,”

says Yahweh, “and I will heal him.

20 But the wicked will be like the driven sea,

for it is not able to rest,

but its waters drive out mud and mire.

21 There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”
