           King James Version

Chapter 57

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   He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.

57:3   But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.

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   Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?

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   Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.

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 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 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   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   I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they shall not profit thee.

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 shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.

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   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   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 will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.

57:19   I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him.

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 peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
