1The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; devout men are taken away, while no one considers that the righteous are taken away from the presence of evil.
2Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest, lying down in death.
Focused Passage
Isaiah 57:1-2
The High and Lofty One Revives the Contrite but Gives No Peace to the Wicked
From the unnoticed death of the righteous and their entrance into peace, to an indictment of sorcery-like idolatry and spiritual adultery, to exposure of political and religious self-expenditure, to the LORD’s challenge that idols cannot save, to a promise that the high and holy God revives the contrite, to healing and peace for mourners, and finally to the no-peace condition of the wicked.
