Isa. 57:1–2 The righteous man perishes. Isaiah notices that there are fewer and fewer righteous people, and no one lays it to heart, that is, people do not understand that this indicates a withdrawal of God’s blessing.
Isa. 57:3 The Jewish people’s physical descent from Abraham is meaningless, because their pagan morals reveal their true spiritual identity.
Isa. 57:6 The smooth stones are objects of pagan worship. Shall I relent for these things? If the people are behaving this way, God will not continue to refrain from punishing them (see 42:8).
Isa. 57:7 you have set your bed. Idol worship is like having a spiritual affair.
Isa. 57:9–10 Idolatry also involved futile political alliances with foreign powers (see 30:1–17; 31:1–9). even to Sheol. The search for human alliances knew no bounds. Indeed, the people found it energizing.
Isa. 57:12 I will declare your righteousness. See 58:1–5 and 64:6.
Isa. 57:14–21 God opens the way into his presence for all who are repentant.
Isa. 57:15 High and lifted up describes God’s glory as king. See 6:1; compare 52:13, which uses this term of the “servant” (see note). God dwells in the high and holy place, yet he also dwells with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit.
Isa. 57:16–19 God knows how much discipline the human heart can take (see 1 Pet. 5:10). He heals those who mourn the poor spiritual condition of his people (see Isa. 66:10). Peace, peace, to the far and to the near includes both Jews and Gentiles (see Eph. 2:11–22).
