Isaiah 57:2-11
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 57
2
He enters into peace;
They rest in their beds,
Each one
who walked in his upright way.
3
'But come here, you sons of a sorceress,
Offspring of an adulterer and a prostitute!
4
Of whom do you make fun?
Against whom do you open wide your mouth
And stick out your tongue?
Are you not children of rebellion,
Offspring of deceit,
5
Who inflame yourselves among the oaks,
Under every luxuriant tree,
Who slaughter the children in the ravines,
Under the clefts of the rocks?
6
Among the smooth
stones
of the ravine
Is your portion, they are your lot;
Even to them you have poured out a drink offering,
You have made a grain offering.
Should I relent of these things?
7
On a high and lofty mountain
You have made your bed.
You also went up there to offer sacrifice.
8
Behind the door and the doorpost
You have set up your sign;
Indeed, far removed from Me, you have uncovered yourself,
And have gone up and made your bed wide.
And you have made an agreement for yourself with them,
You have loved their bed,
You have looked at
their
manhood.
9
You have journeyed to the king with oil
And increased your perfumes;
You have sent your messengers a great distance
And made
them
go down to Sheol.
10
You were tired out by the length of your road,
Yet
you did not say, ‘It is hopeless!’
You found renewed strength,
Therefore you did not faint.
11
'Of whom were you worried and fearful
When you lied, and did not remember Me
Nor give
Me
a thought?
Was I not silent, even for a long time,
So you do not fear Me?
King James Version
Chapter 57
2
He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.
3
But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.
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,
5
Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?
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?
7
Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 57
2
He will enter into peace—
they will rest on their beds —
everyone who lives uprightly.
3
But come here,
you witch’s sons,
offspring of an adulterer and a prostitute!
4
Who are you mocking?
Who are you opening your mouth
and sticking out your tongue at?
Isn’t it you, you rebellious children,
you offspring of liars,
5
who burn with lust among the oaks,
under every green tree,
who slaughter children in the wadis
below the clefts of the rocks?
6
Your portion is among the smooth stones of the wadi;
indeed, they are your lot.
You have even poured out a drink offering to them;
you have offered a grain offering;
should I be satisfied with these?
7
You have placed your bed
on a high and lofty mountain;
you also went up there to offer sacrifice.
8
You have set up your memorial
behind the door and doorpost.
For away from me, you stripped,
went up, and made your bed wide,
and you have made a bargain for yourself with them.
You have loved their bed;
you have gazed on their genitals.
9
You went to the king with oil
and multiplied your perfumes;
you sent your envoys far away
and sent them down even to Sheol.
10
You became weary on your many journeys,
but you did not say, "It’s hopeless!"
You found a renewal of your strength;
therefore you did not grow weak.
11
Who was it you dreaded and feared,
so that you lied and didn’t remember me
or take it to heart?
I have kept silent for a long time, haven’t I?
So you do not fear me.
New Living Translation
Chapter 57
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 gone to Molech
with olive oil and many perfumes,
sending your agents far and wide,
even to the world of the dead.
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?
English Standard Version
Chapter 57
2
he enters into peace;
they rest in their beds
who walk in their uprightness.
3
But you, draw near,
sons of the sorceress,
offspring of the adulterer and the loose woman.
4
Whom are you mocking?
Against whom do you open your mouth wide
and stick out your tongue?
Are you not children of transgression,
the offspring of deceit,
5
you who burn with lust among the oaks,
under every green tree,
who slaughter your children in the valleys,
under the clefts of the rocks?
6
Among the smooth stones of the valley is your portion;
they, they, are your lot;
to them you have poured out a drink offering,
you have brought a grain offering.
Shall I relent for these things?
7
On a high and lofty mountain
you have set your bed,
and there you went up to offer sacrifice.
8
Behind the door and the doorpost
you have set up your memorial;
for, deserting me, you have uncovered your bed,
you have gone up to it,
you have made it wide;
and you have made a covenant for yourself with them,
you have loved their bed,
you have looked on nakedness.
9
You journeyed to the king with oil
and multiplied your perfumes;
you sent your envoys far off,
and sent down even to Sheol.
10
You were wearied with the length of your way,
but you did not say, "It is hopeless";
you found new life for your strength,
and so you were not faint.
11
Whom did you dread and fear,
so that you lied,
and did not remember me,
did not lay it to heart?
Have I not held my peace, even for a long time,
and you do not fear me?
New International Version
Chapter 57
2
Those who walk uprightly
enter into peace;
they find rest as they lie in death.
3
"But you—come here, you children of a sorceress,
you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes!
4
Who are you mocking?
At whom do you sneer
and stick out your tongue?
Are you not a brood of rebels,
the offspring of liars?
5
You burn with lust among the oaks
and under every spreading tree;
you sacrifice your children in the ravines
and under the overhanging crags.
6
The idols among the smooth stones of the ravines are your portion;
indeed, they are your lot.
Yes, to them you have poured out drink offerings
and offered grain offerings.
In view of all this, should I relent?
7
You have made your bed on a high and lofty hill;
there you went up to offer your sacrifices.
8
Behind your doors and your doorposts
you have put your pagan symbols.
Forsaking me, you uncovered your bed,
you climbed into it and opened it wide;
you made a pact with those whose beds you love,
and you looked with lust on their naked bodies.
9
You went to Molek with olive oil
and increased your perfumes.
You sent your ambassadors far away;
you descended to the very realm of the dead!
10
You wearied yourself by such going about,
but you would not say, ‘It is hopeless.’
You found renewal of your strength,
and so you did not faint.
11
"Whom have you so dreaded and feared
that you have not been true to me,
and have neither remembered me
nor taken this to heart?
Is it not because I have long been silent
that you do not fear me?
New King James Version
Chapter 57
2
He shall enter into peace;
They shall rest in their beds,
Each one
walking
in
his uprightness.
3
“But come here,
You sons of the sorceress,
You offspring of the adulterer and the harlot!
4
Whom do you ridicule?
Against whom do you make a wide mouth
And
stick out the tongue?
Are
you not children of transgression,
Offspring of falsehood,
5
Inflaming yourselves with gods under every green tree,
Slaying the children in the valleys,
Under the clefts of the rocks?
6
Among the smooth
stones
of the stream
Is
your portion;
They, they,
are
your lot!
Even to them you have poured a drink offering,
You have offered a grain offering.
Should I receive comfort in these?
7
“On a lofty and high mountain
You have set your bed;
Even there you went up
To offer sacrifice.
8
Also behind the doors and their posts
You have set up your remembrance;
For you have uncovered yourself
to those other
than Me,
And have gone up to them;
You have enlarged your bed
And made
a covenant
with them;
You have loved their bed,
Where you saw
their
nudity.
9
You went to the king with ointment,
And increased your perfumes;
You sent your messengers far off,
And
even
descended to Sheol.
10
You are wearied in the length of your way;
Yet
you did not say, ‘There is no hope.’
You have found the life of your hand;
Therefore you were not grieved.
11
“And of whom have you been afraid, or feared,
That you have lied
And not remembered Me,
Nor taken
it
to your heart?
Is it not because I have held My peace from of old
That you do not fear Me?
