Isaiah 57:1-6 (Douay-Rheims)
View In My Bible
1
The just perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart, and men of mercy are taken away, because there is none that understandeth; for the just man is taken away from before the face of evil.
2
Let peace come, let him rest in his bed that hath walked in his uprightness.
3
But draw near hither, you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer, and of the harlot.
4
Upon whom have you jested? upon whom have you opened your mouth wide, and put out your tongue? are not you wicked children, a false seed,
5
Who seek your comfort in idols under every green tree, sacrificing children in the torrents, under the high rocks?
6
In the parts of the torrent is thy portion, this is thy lot: and thou hast poured out libations to them, thou hast offered sacrifice. Shall I not be angry at these things?
