1 The just man perishes, and there is no one who acknowledges it in his heart; and men of mercy are taken away, for there is no one who understands. For the just man has been taken away before the face of malice. 2 Let peace arrive. Let he who has walked in his righteousness find rest on his bed. 3 But come here, you sons of the prophetess, you offspring of an adulterous man and a fornicating woman. 4 Whom are you mocking? Against whom have you opened your mouth wide and wagged your tongue? Are you not sons of wickedness, a lying offspring, 5 who are being consoled by idols under every leafy tree, immolating little children at the torrents, under the high rocks? 6 Your portion is in the currents of the torrent; this is your lot! And you yourselves have poured out libations to them; you have offered sacrifice. Should I not be angry over these things? Isaiah 57:1-6, Catholic Public Domain Version. Public domain.
