Isaiah 57 (kjv)

57

The righteousH6662 perishethH6, and no manH376 layethH7760 it to heartH3820: and mercifulH2617 menH582 are taken awayH622, none consideringH995 that the righteousH6662 is taken awayH622 fromH6440 the evilH7451 to come.2He shall enterH935 into peaceH7965: they shall restH5117 in their bedsH4904, each one walkingH1980 in his uprightnessH5228.

3But draw nearH7126 hither, ye sonsH1121 of the sorceressH6049, the seedH2233 of the adultererH5003 and the whoreH2181.4Against whom do ye sportH6026 yourselves? against whom make ye a wideH7337 mouthH6310, and draw outH748 the tongueH3956? are ye not childrenH3206 of transgressionH6588, a seedH2233 of falsehoodH8267,5EnflamingH2552 yourselves with idolsH410 under every greenH7488 treeH6086, slayingH7819 the childrenH3206 in the valleysH5158 under the cliftsH5585 of the rocksH5553?6Among the smoothH2511 stones of the streamH5158 is thy portionH2506; they, they are thy lotH1486: even to them hast thou pouredH8210 a drink offeringH5262, thou hast offeredH5927 a meat offeringH4503. Should I receive comfortH5162 in these?7Upon a loftyH1364 and highH5375 mountainH2022 hast thou setH7760 thy bedH4904: even thither wentest thou upH5927 to offerH2076 sacrificeH2077.8BehindH310 the doorsH1817 also and the postsH4201 hast thou set upH7760 thy remembranceH2146: for thou hast discoveredH1540 thyself to another than me, and art gone upH5927; thou hast enlargedH7337 thy bedH4904, and madeH3772 thee a covenant with them; thou lovedstH157 their bedH4904 whereH3027 thou sawestH2372 it.9And thou wentestH7788 to the kingH4428 with ointmentH8081, and didst increaseH7235 thy perfumesH7547, and didst sendH7971 thy messengersH6735 far offH7350, and didst debaseH8213 thyself even unto hellH7585.10Thou art weariedH3021 in the greatnessH7230 of thy wayH1870; yet saidstH559 thou not, There is no hopeH2976: thou hast foundH4672 the lifeH2416 of thine handH3027; therefore thou wast not grievedH2470.11And of whom hast thou been afraidH1672 or fearedH3372, that thou hast liedH3576, and hast not rememberedH2142 me, nor laidH7760 it to thy heartH3820? have not I held my peaceH2814 even of oldH5769, and thou fearestH3372 me not?12I will declareH5046 thy righteousnessH6666, and thy worksH4639; for they shall not profitH3276 thee.

13When thou criestH2199, let thy companiesH6899 deliverH5337 thee; but the windH7307 shall carry them all awayH5375; vanityH1892 shall takeH3947 them: but he that putteth his trustH2620 in me shall possessH5157 the landH776, and shall inheritH3423 my holyH6944 mountainH2022;14And shall sayH559, Cast ye upH5549, cast ye upH5549, prepareH6437 the wayH1870, take upH7311 the stumblingblockH4383 out of the wayH1870 of my peopleH5971.15For thus saithH559 the highH7311 and lofty OneH5375 that inhabitethH7931 eternityH5703, whose nameH8034 is HolyH6918; I dwellH7931 in the highH4791 and holyH6918 place, with him also that is of a contriteH1793 and humbleH8217 spiritH7307, to reviveH2421 the spiritH7307 of the humbleH8217, and to reviveH2421 the heartH3820 of the contrite onesH1792.16For I will not contendH7378 for everH5769, neither will I be alwaysH5331 wrothH7107: for the spiritH7307 should failH5848 beforeH6440 me, and the soulsH5397 which I have madeH6213.17For the iniquityH5771 of his covetousnessH1215 was I wrothH7107, and smoteH5221 him: I hidH5641 me, and was wrothH7107, and he went onH3212 frowardlyH7726 in the wayH1870 of his heartH3820.18I have seenH7200 his waysH1870, and will healH7495 him: I will leadH5148 him also, and restoreH7999 comfortsH5150 unto him and to his mournersH57.19I createH1254 the fruitH5108 of the lipsH8193; PeaceH7965, peaceH7965 to him that is far offH7350, and to him that is nearH7138, saithH559 the LORDH3068; and I will healH7495 him.20But the wickedH7563 are like the troubledH1644 seaH3220, when it cannotH3201 restH8252, whose watersH4325 cast upH1644 mireH7516 and dirtH2916.21There is no peaceH7965, saithH559 my GodH430, to the wickedH7563.
