  57:1 ¶
See how the just man has perished, and no one lays [it] to heart: and righteous men are taken away, and no one considers: for the righteous has been removed out of the way of injustice. |
|
57:1 ¶
The righteous°
perisheth,°°
and no°
man°
layeth°°
[it] to°
heart:°
and merciful°
men°°
[are] taken away,°°
none°
considering°°
that°
the righteous°
is taken away°°
from°°
the evil°
[to come]. |
|
57:2
His burial shall be in peace: he has been removed out of the way. |
|
57:2
He shall enter°°
into peace:°
they shall rest°°
in°
their beds,°
[each one] walking°°
[in] his uprightness.° |
|
57:3 ¶
But draw ye near hither, ye lawless children, the seed of adulterers and the harlot. |
|
57:3 ¶
But draw near°°
hither,°
ye°
sons°
of the sorceress,°°
the seed°
of the adulterer°°
and the whore.°° |
|
57:4
Wherein have ye been rioting? and against whom have ye opened your mouth, and against whom have ye loosed your tongue? are ye not children of perdition? a lawless seed? |
|
57:4
Against°
whom°
do ye sport°°
yourselves?°
against°
whom°
make ye a wide°°
mouth,°
[and] draw out°°
the tongue?°
[are] ye°
not°
children°
of transgression,°
a seed°
of falsehood,° |
|
57:5
who call upon idols under the leafy trees, slaying your children in the valleys among the rocks? |
|
57:5
Enflaming°°
yourselves°
with elim°
under°
every°
green°
tree,°
slaying°°
the children°
in the valleys°
under°
the clifts°
of the rocks?° |
|
57:6
That is thy portion, this is thy lot: and to them hast thou poured forth drink-offerings, and to these hast thou offered meat-offerings. Shall I not therefore be angry for these things? |
|
57:6
Among the smooth°
[stones] of the stream°
[is] thy portion;°
they,°
they°
[are] thy lot:°
even°
to them hast thou poured°°
a drink offering,°
thou hast offered°°
a meat offering.°
Should I receive comfort°°
in°
these?° |
|
57:7
On a lofty and high mountain, there is thy bed, and thither thou carriedst up thy meat-offerings: |
|
57:7
Upon°
a lofty°
and high°°
mountain°
hast thou set°°
thy bed:°
even°
thither°
wentest thou up°°
to offer°°
sacrifice.° |
|
57:8
and behind the posts of thy door thou didst place thy memorials. Didst thou think that if thou shouldest depart from me, thou wouldest gain? thou hast loved those that lay with thee; |
|
57:8
Behind°
the doors°
also and the posts°
hast thou set up°°
thy remembrance:°
for°
thou hast discovered°°
[thyself to another] than°°
me, and art gone up;°°
thou hast enlarged°°
thy bed,°
and made°°
thee [a covenant] with°
them; thou lovedst°°
their bed°
where°
thou sawest°°
[it]. |
|
57:9
and thou hast multiplied thy whoredom with them, and thou hast increased the number of them that are far from thee, and hast sent ambassadors beyond thy borders, and hast been debased even to hell. |
|
57:9
And thou wentest°°
to the king°
with ointment,°
and didst increase°°
thy perfumes,°
and didst send°°
thy messengers°
far off,°°°
and didst debase°°
[thyself even] unto°
hell.° |
|
57:10
Thou hast wearied thyself with thy many ways; yet thou saidst not, I will cease to strengthen myself: for thou has done these things; therefore thou has not supplicated me. |
|
57:10
Thou art wearied°°
in the greatness°
of thy way;°
[yet] saidst°°
thou not,°
There is no hope:°°
thou hast found°°
the life°
of thine hand;°
therefore°°
thou wast not°
grieved.°° |
|
57:11
Through dread of whom hast thou feared, and lied against me, and has not remembered, nor considered me, nor regarded me, yea, though when I see thee I pass they by, yet thou hast not feared me. |
|
57:11
And of whom°
hast thou been afraid°°
or feared,°°
that°
thou hast lied,°°
and hast not°
remembered°°
me, nor°
laid°°
[it] to°
thy heart?°
have not°
I°
held my peace°°
even of old,°°
and thou fearest°°
me not?° |
|
57:12
And I will declare thy righteousness, and thy sins, which shall not profit thee. |
|
57:12
I°
will declare°°
thy righteousness,°
and thy works;°
for they shall not°
profit°°
thee. |
|
57:13 ¶
When thou criest out, let them deliver thee in thine affliction: for all these the wind shall take, and the tempest shall carry [them] away: but they that cleave to me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain. |
|
57:13 ¶
When thou criest,°°
let thy companies°
deliver°°
thee; but the wind°
shall carry them all away;°°°°
vanity°
shall take°°
[them]: but he that putteth his trust°°
in me shall possess°°
the land,°
and shall inherit°°
my holy°
mountain;° |
|
57:14
And they shall say, Clear the ways before him, and take up the stumbling-blocks out of the way of my people. |
|
57:14
And shall say,°°
Cast ye up,°°
cast ye up,°°
prepare°°
the way,°
take up°°
the stumblingblock°
out of the way°°
of my people.° |
|
57:15
Thus saith the Most High, who dwells on high for ever, Holy in the holies, is his name, the Most High resting in the holies, and giving patience to the faint-hearted, and giving life to the broken-hearted: |
|
57:15
For°
thus°
saith°°
the high°°
and lofty One°°
that inhabiteth°°
eternity,°
whose name°
[is] Holy;°
I dwell°°
in the high°
and holy°
[place], with°
him also [that is] of a contrite°
and humble°
spirit,°
to revive°°
the spirit°
of the humble,°
and to revive°°
the heart°
of the contrite ones.°° |
|
57:16
I will not take vengeance on you for ever, neither will I be always angry with you: for my Spirit shall go forth from me, and I have created all breath. |
|
57:16
For°
I will not°
contend°°
for ever,°
neither°
will I be always°
wroth:°°°
for°
the spirit°
should fail°°
before°°
me, and the souls°
[which] I°
have made.°° |
|
57:17
On account of sin for a little while I grieved him, and smote him, and turned away my face from him; and he was grieved, and he went on sorrowful in his ways. |
|
57:17
For the iniquity°
of his covetousness°
was I wroth,°°
and smote°°
him: I hid°°
me, and was wroth,°°
and he went°
on°°
frowardly°
in the way°
of his heart.° |
|
57:18
I have seen his ways, and healed him, and comforted him, and given him true comfort; |
|
57:18
I have seen°°
his ways,°
and will heal°°
him: I will lead°°
him also, and restore°°
comforts°
unto him and to his mourners.° |
|
57:19
peace upon peace to them that are far off, and to them that are nigh: and the Lord has said, I will heal them. |
|
57:19
I create°°
the fruit°
of the lips;°
Peace,°
peace°
to [him that is] far off,°
and to [him that is] near,°
saith°°
Yahweh;°
and I will heal°°
him. |
|
57:20
But the unrighteous shall be tossed as troubled waves, and shall not be able to rest. |
|
57:20
But the wicked°
[are] like the troubled°°
sea,°
when°
it cannot°°°
rest,°°
whose waters°
cast up°°
mire°
and dirt.° |
|
57:21
There is no joy to the ungodly, said God. |
|
57:21
[There is] no°
peace,°
saith°°
my Elohim,°
to the wicked.° |
