Isaiah 57:1-6 (New Revised Standard)
View In My Bible
1
The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, while no one understands. For the righteous are taken away from calamity,
2
and they enter into peace; those who walk uprightly will rest on their couches.
3
But as for you, come here, you children of a sorceress, you offspring of an adulterer and a whore. a
4
Whom are you mocking? Against whom do you open your mouth wide and stick out your tongue? Are you not children of transgression, the offspring of deceit—
5
you that burn with lust among the oaks, under every green tree; you that slaughter your children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
6
Among the smooth stones of the valley is your portion; they, they, are your lot; to them you have poured out a drink offering, you have brought a grain offering. Shall I be appeased for these things?
