Isaiah 57 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

The righteous ^H6662 person ^H6662 perishes ^H6, and no ^H369 one ^H376 takes ^H7760 it to heart ^H3820;

And devout ^H2617 people ^H376 are taken ^H622 away ^H622, while no ^H369 one ^H369 understands ^H995.

For the righteous ^H6662 person ^H6662 is taken ^H622 away ^H622 from evil ^H7451,

He enters ^H935 into peace ^H7965;

They rest ^H5117 in their [fn]beds ^H4904,

Each one who walked ^H1980 in his upright ^H5228 way ^H5228.

“But come ^H7126 here ^H2008, you sons ^H1121 of a sorceress ^H6049,

Offspring ^H2233 of an adulterer ^H5003 and [fn]a prostitute ^H2181!

“Of ^H5921 whom ^H4310 do you make ^H6026 fun ^H6026?

Against ^H5921 whom ^H4310 do you open ^H7337 wide ^H7337 your mouth ^H6310

And stick ^H748 out ^H748 your tongue ^H3956?

Are you not children ^H3206 of rebellion ^H6588,

Offspring ^H2233 of deceit ^H8267,

Who inflame ^H2552 yourselves among the oaks ^H352,

Under ^H8478 every ^H3605 luxuriant ^H7488 tree ^H6086,

Who slaughter ^H7819 the children ^H3206 in the [fn]ravines ^H5158,

Under ^H8478 the clefts ^H5585 of the rocks ^H5553?

“Among the [fn]smooth ^H2509 stones of the [fn]ravine ^H5158

Is your portion ^H2506, [fn]they are your lot ^H1486;

Even ^H1571 to them you have poured ^H8210 out ^H8210 a drink ^H5262 offering ^H5262,

You have made ^H5927 a grain offering ^H4503.

Should I [fn]relent ^H5162 of these ^H428 things ^H428?

“On a high ^H1364 and lofty ^H5375 mountain ^H2022

You have made ^H7760 your bed ^H4904.

You also ^H1571 went ^H5927 up ^H5927 there ^H8033 to offer ^H2076 sacrifice ^H2077.

“Behind ^H310 the door ^H1817 and the doorpost ^H4201

You have set ^H7760 up ^H7760 your sign ^H2146;

Indeed ^H3588, far removed ^H4480 from Me, you have uncovered ^H1540 yourself,

And have gone ^H5927 up ^H5927 and made ^H7337 your bed ^H4904 wide ^H7337.

And you have made ^H3772 an agreement for yourself with them,

You have loved ^H157 their bed ^H4904,

You have looked ^H2372 at their [fn]manhood ^H3027.

“You have journeyed ^H7788 to the king ^H4428 with oil ^H8081

And increased ^H7235 your perfumes ^H7547;

You have sent ^H7971 your messengers ^H6735 a great distance ^H7350

And made ^H8213 them go ^H8213 down ^H8213 to [fn]Sheol ^H7585.

“You were tired ^H3021 out ^H3021 by the length ^H7230 of your road ^H1870,

Yet you did not say ^H559, ‘It is hopeless ^H2976!’

You found ^H4672 [fn]renewed ^H2416 strength ^H3027,

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 you did not [fn]faint ^H2470.

“Of whom ^H4310 were ^H1672 you worried ^H1672 and fearful ^H3372

When ^H3588 you lied ^H3576, and did not remember ^H2142 Me

[fn]Nor ^H3808 give ^H7760 Me a thought ^H3820?

Was I not silent ^H2814, even for a long ^H5769 time ^H5769,

So you do not fear ^H3372 Me?

“I will declare ^H5046 your righteousness ^H6666 and your deeds ^H4639,

And they will not benefit ^H3276 you.

“When you cry ^H2199 out ^H2199, let your collection ^H6899 of idols save ^H5337 you.

But the wind ^H7307 will carry ^H5375 them all ^H3605 up ^H5375,

And a breath ^H1892 will take ^H3947 them away.

But the one who takes ^H2620 refuge ^H2620 in Me will inherit ^H5157 the land ^H776

And possess ^H3423 My holy ^H6944 mountain ^H2022.”

And it will be said ^H559,

“Build ^H5549 up ^H5549, build ^H5549 up ^H5549, prepare ^H6437 the way ^H1870,

Remove ^H7311 every obstacle ^H4383 from the way ^H1870 of My people ^H5971.”

For this ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the high ^H7311 and exalted ^H5375 One

Who [fn]lives ^H7931 forever ^H5703, whose name ^H8034 is Holy ^H6918, says ^H559:

“I dwell ^H7931 in a high ^H4791 and holy ^H6918 place,

And also with the contrite ^H1793 and lowly ^H8217 of spirit ^H7307

In order to revive ^H2421 the spirit ^H7307 of the lowly ^H8217

And to revive ^H2421 the heart ^H3820 of the contrite ^H1792.

“For I will not contend ^H7378 forever ^H5769,

Nor ^H3808 will I always ^H5331 be ^H7107 angry ^H7107;

For the spirit ^H7307 would grow ^H5848 faint ^H5848 before ^H4480 H6440 Me,

And the breath ^H5397 of those whom I have made ^H6213.

“Because of the wrongful ^H5771 act ^H5771 of his unjust ^H1215 gain ^H1215 I was ^H7107 angry ^H7107 and struck ^H5221 him;

I hid ^H5641 My face and was ^H7107 angry ^H7107,

And he went ^H1980 on turning ^H7726 away ^H7726, in the way ^H1870 of his heart ^H3820.

“I have seen ^H7200 his ways ^H1870, but I will heal ^H7495 him;

I will lead ^H5148 him and restore ^H7999 comfort ^H5150 to him and to his mourners ^H57,

Creating ^H1254 the [fn]praise ^H5108 of the lips ^H8193.

Peace ^H7965, peace ^H7965 to him who is far ^H7350 away ^H7350 and to him who is near ^H7138,”

Says ^H559 the LORD ^H3068, “and I will heal ^H7495 him.”

But the wicked ^H7563 are like the tossing ^H1644 sea ^H3220,

For it cannot ^H3201 H3808 be ^H8252 quiet ^H8252,

And its waters ^H4325 toss ^H1644 up ^H1644 refuse ^H7516 and mud ^H2916.

“There ^H369 is ^H369 no ^H369 peace ^H7965,” says ^H559 my God ^H430, “for the wicked ^H7563.”
