1 BEHOLD, the righteous man has perished, and no one lays it to heart; and pious men are taken away, none considering that the righteous man is taken away from the evil to come. 2 And when peace comes, they shall relax, and make progress. 3 But you draw near hither, you sons of the afflicted one, the offspring of the adulterer and the whore. 4 Against whom do you sport yourselves? Against whom do you open your mouth wide and draw out the tongue? Are you not children of iniquity, an offspring of falsehood, 5 Comforting yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying children as sacrifices in the valleys under the cliffs of the rocks? 6 Your portion and your heritage is in the parts of the valleys; even upon them you have poured a drink offering, you have offered meal offerings. Should I receive comfort in these things? Isaiah 57:1-6, Lamsa Bible. Public domain.
