1 The righteous one has perished, and no man takes it upon the heart; and men of devotion are gathered up, and no one considers that the righteous one is gathered up from the face of evil. 2 He enters into peace; they rest in their beds, each walking in his uprightness. 3 “And you?, draw near here, sons of a sorceress, seed of an adulterer and prostitute! 4 Against whom are you? mocking? Against whom do you? make wide the mouth and stick out the tongue? Are you? not children of transgression, seed of deception— 5 those warming themselves among the Oaks, under every green tree, slaughtering the sons in the valleys, under the clefts of the cliffs? 6 Among the smooth things of the valley is your portion; they—they are your lot! Even to them you have poured out a drink offering, having offered up a grain offering. Should I relent over these? 7 Upon a mountain high and lifted up you have set your bed; also you went up there to offer sacrifice. 8 And behind the door and the post you have set up your memorial; for away from me you uncovered yourself and went up; you widened your bed, and cut for yourself with them. You have loved their bed; you have gazed upon a hand! Isaiah 57:1-8, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
