57:1 The
righteous
man
perishes,
and
no
one
lays
it
to
heart;
devout
men
are
taken
away,
while
no
one
understands.
For
the
righteous
man
is
taken
away
from
calamity;
57:2 he
enters
into
peace;
they
rest
in
their
beds
who
walk
in
their
uprightness.
57:3 But
you,
draw
near,
sons
of
the
sorceress,
offspring
of
the
adulterer
and
the
loose
woman.
57:4 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,
57:5 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
57:6 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
57:7 On
a
high
and
lofty
mountain
you
have
set
your
bed,
and
there
you
went
up
to
offer
sacrifice.
57:8 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.
57:9 You
journeyed
to
the
king
with
oil
and
multiplied
your
perfumes;
you
sent
your
envoys
far
off,
and
sent
down
even
to
Sheol.
57:10 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.
57:11 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
57:12 I
will
declare
your
righteousness
and
your
deeds,
but
they
will
not
profit
you.
57:13 When
you
cry
out,
let
your
collection
of
idols
deliver
you!
The
wind
will
carry
them
off,
a
breath
will
take
them
away.
But
he
who
takes
refuge
in
me
shall
possess
the
land
and
shall
inherit
my
holy
mountain.
57:14 And
it
shall
be
said,
"Build
up,
build
up,
prepare
the
way,
remove
every
obstruction
from
my
people's
way."
57:15 For
thus
says
the
One
who
is
high
and
lifted
up,
who
inhabits
eternity,
whose
name
is
Holy:
"I
dwell
in
the
high
and
holy
place,
and
also
with
him
who
is
of
a
contrite
and
lowly
spirit,
to
revive
the
spirit
of
the
lowly,
and
to
revive
the
heart
of
the
contrite.
57:16 For
I
will
not
contend
forever,
nor
will
I
always
be
angry;
for
the
spirit
would
grow
faint
before
me,
and
the
breath
of
life
that
I
made.
57:17 Because
of
the
iniquity
of
his
unjust
gain
I
was
angry,
I
struck
him;
I
hid
my
face
and
was
angry,
but
he
went
on
backsliding
in
the
way
of
his
own
heart.
57:18 I
have
seen
his
ways,
but
I
will
heal
him;
I
will
lead
him
and
restore
comfort
to
him
and
his
mourners,
57:19 creating
the
fruit
of
the
lips.
Peace,
peace,
to
the
far
and
to
the
near,"
says
the
LORD,
"and
I
will
heal
him.
57:20 But
the
wicked
are
like
the
tossing
sea;
for
it
cannot
be
quiet,
and
its
waters
toss
up
mire
and
dirt.
57:21 There
is
no
peace,"
says
my
God,
"for
the
wicked."
