Isaiah 57

The Message Bible MSG

1 Meanwhile, right-living people die and no one gives them a thought. God-fearing people are carted off and no one even notices. The right-living people are out of their misery, they're finally at rest.

2 They lived well and with dignity and now they're finally at peace.

3 "But you, children of a witch, come here! Sons of a slut, daughters of a whore.

4 What business do you have taunting, sneering, and sticking out your tongue? Do you have any idea what wretches you've turned out to be? A race of rebels, a generation of liars.

5 You satisfy your lust any place you find some shade and fornicate at whim. You kill your children at any convenient spot - any cave or crevasse will do.

6 You take stones from the creek and set up your sex-and-religion shrines. You've chosen your fate. Your worship will be your doom.

7 You've climbed a high mountain to practice your foul sex-and-death religion.

8 Behind closed doors you assemble your precious gods and goddesses. Deserting me, you've gone all out, stripped down and made your bed your place of worship. You've climbed into bed with the 'sacred' whores and loved every minute of it, adoring every curve of their naked bodies.

9 You anoint your king-god with ointments and lavish perfumes on yourselves. You send scouts to search out the latest in religion, send them all the way to hell and back.

10 You wear yourselves out trying the new and the different, and never see what a waste it all is. You've always found strength for the latest fad, never got tired of trying new religions.

11 "Who talked you into the pursuit of this nonsense, leaving me high and dry, forgetting you ever knew me? Because I don't yell and make a scene do you think I don't exist?

12 I'll go over, detail by detail, all your 'righteous' attempts at religion, and expose the absurdity of it all.

13 Go ahead, cry for help to your collection of no-gods: A good wind will blow them away. They're smoke, nothing but smoke. "But anyone who runs to me for help will inherit the land, will end up owning my holy mountain!"

14 Someone says: "Build, build! Make a road! Clear the way, remove the rocks from the road my people will travel."

15 A Message from the high and towering God, who lives in Eternity, whose name is Holy: "I live in the high and holy places, but also with the low-spirited, the spirit-crushed, And what I do is put new spirit in them, get them up and on their feet again.

16 For I'm not going to haul people into court endlessly, I'm not going to be angry forever. Otherwise, people would lose heart. These souls I created would tire out and give up.

17 I was angry, good and angry, because of Israel's sins. I struck him hard and turned away in anger, while he kept at his stubborn, willful ways.

18 When I looked again and saw what he was doing, I decided to heal him, lead him, and comfort him, creating a new language of praise for the mourners.

19 Peace to the far-off, peace to the near-at-hand," says God - "and yes, I will heal them.

20 But the wicked are storm-battered seas that can't quiet down. The waves stir up garbage and mud.

21 There's no peace," God says, "for the wicked.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 iustus perit et nemo est qui recogitet in corde suo et viri misericordiae colliguntur quia non est qui intellegat a facie enim malitiae collectus est iustus

2 veniat pax requiescat in cubili suo qui ambulavit in directione sua

3 vos autem accedite huc filii auguratricis semen adulteri et fornicariae

4 super quem lusistis super quem dilatastis os et eiecistis linguam numquid non vos filii scelesti semen mendax

5 qui consolamini in diis subter omne lignum frondosum immolantes parvulos in torrentibus subter inminentes petras

6 in partibus torrentis pars tua haec est sors tua et ipsis effudisti libamen obtulisti sacrificium numquid super his non indignabor

7 super montem excelsum et sublimem posuisti cubile tuum et illuc ascendisti ut immolares hostias

8 et post ostium et retro postem posuisti memoriale tuum quia iuxta me discoperuisti et suscepisti adulterum dilatasti cubile tuum et pepigisti cum eis dilexisti stratum eorum manu aperta

9 et ornasti te regi unguento et multiplicasti pigmenta tua misisti legatos tuos procul et humiliata es usque ad inferos

10 in multitudine viae tuae laborasti non dixisti quiescam vitam manus tuae invenisti propterea non rogasti

11 pro quo sollicita timuisti quia mentita es et mei non es recordata neque cogitasti in corde tuo quia ego tacens et quasi non videns et mei oblita es

12 ego adnuntiabo iustitiam tuam et opera tua non proderunt tibi

13 cum clamaveris liberent te congregati tui et omnes eos auferet ventus tollet aura qui autem fiduciam habet mei hereditabit terram et possidebit montem sanctum meum

14 et dicam viam facite praebete iter declinate de semita auferte offendicula de via populi mei

15 quia haec dicit Excelsus et Sublimis habitans aeternitatem et sanctum nomen eius in excelso et in sancto habitans et cum contrito et humili spiritu ut vivificet spiritum humilium et vivificet cor contritorum

16 non enim in sempiternum litigabo neque usque ad finem irascar quia spiritus a facie mea egredietur et flatus ego faciam

17 propter iniquitatem avaritiae eius iratus sum et percussi eum abscondi et indignatus sum et abiit vagus in via cordis sui

18 vias eius vidi et dimisi eum et reduxi eum et reddidi consolationes ipsi et lugentibus eius

19 creavi fructum labiorum pacem pacem ei qui longe est et qui prope dixit Dominus et sanavi eum

20 impii autem quasi mare fervens quod quiescere non potest et redundant fluctus eius in conculcationem et lutum

21 non est pax dixit Deus meus impiis
