Isaiah 57:11 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 Good people pass away; the godly often die before their time. But no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come.
2 For those who follow godly paths will rest in peace when they die.
3 "But you-- come here, you witches' children, you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes!
4 Whom do you mock, making faces and sticking out your tongues? You children of sinners and liars!
5 You worship your idols with great passion beneath the oaks and under every green tree. You sacrifice your children down in the valleys, among the jagged rocks in the cliffs.
6 Your gods are the smooth stones in the valleys. You worship them with liquid offerings and grain offerings. They, not I, are your inheritance. Do you think all this makes me happy?
7 You have committed adultery on every high mountain. There you have worshiped idols and have been unfaithful to me.
8 You have put pagan symbols on your doorposts and behind your doors. You have left me and climbed into bed with these detestable gods. You have committed yourselves to them. You love to look at their naked bodies.
9 You have given olive oil to Molech with many gifts of perfume. You have traveled far, even into the world of the dead, to find new gods to love.
10 You grew weary in your search, but you never gave up. Desire gave you renewed strength, and you did not grow weary.
11 "Are you afraid of these idols? Do they terrify you? Is that why you have lied to me and forgotten me and my words? Is it because of my long silence that you no longer fear me?
12 Now I will expose your so-called good deeds. None of them will help you.
13 Let's see if your idols can save you when you cry to them for help. Why, a puff of wind can knock them down! If you just breathe on them, they fall over! But whoever trusts in me will inherit the land and possess my holy mountain."
14 God says, "Rebuild the road! Clear away the rocks and stones so my people can return from captivity."
15 The high and lofty one who lives in eternity, the Holy One, says this: "I live in the high and holy place with those whose spirits are contrite and humble. I restore the crushed spirit of the humble and revive the courage of those with repentant hearts.
16 For I will not fight against you forever; I will not always be angry. If I were, all people would pass away-- all the souls I have made.
17 I was angry, so I punished these greedy people. I withdrew from them, but they kept going on their own stubborn way.
18 I have seen what they do, but I will heal them anyway! I will lead them. I will comfort those who mourn,
19 bringing words of praise to their lips. May they have abundant peace, both near and far," says the LORD, who heals them.
20 "But those who still reject me are like the restless sea, which is never still but continually churns up mud and dirt.
21 There is no peace for the wicked," says my God.
1 The righteous H6662 perisheth, H6 and no H369 man H376 layeth H7760 it to H5921 heart: H3820 and merciful H2617 men H376 are taken away, H622 none H369 considering H995 that H3588 the righteous H6662 is taken away H622 from H4480 H6440 the evil H7451 to come .
2 He shall enter H935 into peace: H7965 they shall rest H5117 in H5921 their beds, H4904 each one walking H1980 in his uprightness. H5228
3 But draw near H7126 hither, H2008 ye H859 sons H1121 of the sorceress, H6049 the seed H2233 of the adulterer H5003 and the whore. H2181
4 Against H5921 whom H4310 do ye sport yourselves H6026 ? against H5921 whom H4310 make ye a wide H7337 mouth, H6310 and draw out H748 the tongue H3956 ? are ye H859 not H3808 children H3206 of transgression, H6588 a seed H2233 of falsehood, H8267
5 Inflaming yourselves H2552 with idols H410 under H8478 every H3605 green H7488 tree, H6086 slaying H7819 the children H3206 in the valleys H5158 under H8478 the clefts H5585 of the rocks H5553 ?
6 Among the smooth H2511 stones of the stream H5158 is thy portion; H2506 they, H1992 they H1992 are thy lot: H1486 even H1571 to them hast thou poured H8210 a drink offering, H5262 thou hast offered H5927 a meat offering. H4503 Should I receive comfort H5162 in H5921 these H428 ?
7 Upon H5921 a lofty H1364 and high H5375 mountain H2022 hast thou set H7760 thy bed: H4904 even H1571 thither H8033 wentest thou up H5927 to offer H2076 sacrifice. H2077
8 Behind H310 the doors H1817 also and the posts H4201 hast thou set up H7760 thy remembrance: H2146 for H3588 thou hast discovered H1540 thyself to another than H4480 H854 me , and art gone up; H5927 thou hast enlarged H7337 thy bed, H4904 and made H3772 thee a covenant with H4480 them ; thou lovedst H157 their bed H4904 where H3027 thou sawest H2372 it .
9 And thou wentest H7788 to the king H4428 with ointment, H8081 and didst increase H7235 thy perfumes, H7547 and didst send H7971 thy messengers H6735 far off H5704 H4480, H7350 and didst debase H8213 thyself even unto H5704 hell. H7585
10 Thou art wearied H3021 in the greatness H7230 of thy way; H1870 yet saidst H559 thou not, H3808 There is no hope: H2976 thou hast found H4672 the life H2416 of thine hand; H3027 therefore H5921 H3651 thou wast not H3808 grieved. H2470
11 And of whom H4310 hast thou been afraid H1672 or feared, H3372 that H3588 thou hast lied, H3576 and hast not H3808 remembered H2142 me, nor H3808 laid H7760 it to H5921 thy heart H3820 ? have not H3808 I H589 held my peace H2814 even of old H4480 H5769 , and thou fearest H3372 me not H3808 ?
12 I H589 will declare H5046 thy righteousness, H6666 and thy works; H4639 for they shall not H3808 profit H3276 thee.
13 When thou criest, H2199 let thy companies H6899 deliver H5337 thee ; but the wind H7307 shall carry them all away H5375 H853 H3605 ; vanity H1892 shall take H3947 them : but he that putteth his trust H2620 in me shall possess H5157 the land, H776 and shall inherit H3423 my holy H6944 mountain; H2022
14 And shall say, H559 Cast ye up, H5549 cast ye up, H5549 prepare H6437 the way, H1870 take up H7311 the stumblingblock H4383 out of the way H4480 H1870 of my people. H5971
15 For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the high H7311 and lofty One H5375 that inhabiteth H7931 eternity, H5703 whose name H8034 is Holy; H6918 I dwell H7931 in the high H4791 and holy H6918 place , with H854 him also that is of a contrite H1793 and humble H8217 spirit, H7307 to revive H2421 the spirit H7307 of the humble, H8217 and to revive H2421 the heart H3820 of the contrite ones. H1792
16 For H3588 I will not H3808 contend H7378 forever, H5769 neither H3808 will I be always wroth H7107 H5331 : for H3588 the spirit H7307 should fail H5848 before H4480 H6440 me , and the souls H5397 which I H589 have made. H6213
17 For the iniquity H5771 of his covetousness H1215 was I wroth, H7107 and smote H5221 him : I hid H5641 me , and was wroth, H7107 and he went H1980 on frowardly H7726 in the way H1870 of his heart. H3820
18 I have seen H7200 his ways, H1870 and will heal H7495 him : I will lead H5148 him also , and restore H7999 comforts H5150 unto him and to his mourners. H57
19 I create H1254 the fruit H5108 of the lips; H8193 Peace, H7965 peace H7965 to him that is far off, H7350 and to him that is near, H7138 saith H559 the LORD; H3068 and I will heal H7495 him.
20 But the wicked H7563 are like the troubled H1644 sea, H3220 when H3588 it cannot H3201 H3808 rest, H8252 whose waters H4325 cast up H1644 mire H7516 and dirt. H2916
21 There is no H369 peace, H7965 saith H559 my God, H430 to the wicked. H7563
