Chapter 57
Isai | DRC | 57:1 | 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. | |
Isai | DRC | 57:3 | But draw near hither, you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer, and of the harlot. | |
Isai | DRC | 57:4 | 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, | |
Isai | DRC | 57:5 | Who seek your comfort in idols under every green tree, sacrificing children in the torrents, under the high rocks? | |
Isai | DRC | 57:6 | 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? | |
Isai | DRC | 57:7 | Upon a high and lofty mountain thou hast laid thy bed, and hast gone up thither to offer victims. | |
Isai | DRC | 57:8 | And behind the door, and behind the post thou hast set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself near me, and hast received an adulterer: thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made a covenant with them: thou hast loved their bed with open hand. | |
Isai | DRC | 57:9 | And thou hast adorned thyself for the king with ointment, and hast multiplied thy perfumes. Thou hast sent thy messengers far off, and wast debased even to hell. | |
Isai | DRC | 57:10 | Thou hast been wearied in the multitude of thy ways: yet thou saidst not: I will rest: thou has found life of thy hand, therefore thou hast not asked. | |
Isai | DRC | 57:11 | For whom hast thou been solicitous and afraid, that thou hast lied, and hast not been mindful of me, nor thought on me in thy heart? for I am silent, and as one that seeth not, and thou hast forgotten me. | |
Isai | DRC | 57:13 | When thou shalt cry, let thy companies deliver thee, but the wind shall carry them all off, a breeze shall take them away, but he that putteth his trust in me, shall inherit the land, and shall possess my holy mount. | |
Isai | DRC | 57:14 | And I will say: Make a way: give free passage, turn out of the path, take away the stumblingblocks out of the way of my people. | |
Isai | DRC | 57:15 | For thus saith the High and the Eminent that inhabiteth eternity: and his name is Holy, who dwelleth in the high and holy place, and with a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite. | |
Isai | DRC | 57:16 | For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be angry unto the end: because the spirit shall go forth from my face, and breathings I will make. | |
Isai | DRC | 57:17 | For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry, and I struck him: I hid my face from thee, and was angry: and he went away wandering in his own heart. | |
Isai | DRC | 57:18 | I saw his ways, and I healed him, and brought him back, and restored comforts to him, and to them that mourn for him. | |
Isai | DRC | 57:19 | I created the fruit of the lips, peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, said the Lord, and I healed him. | |
Isai | DRC | 57:20 | But the wicked are like the raging sea, which cannot rest, and the waves thereof cast up dirt and mire. | |
