New King James Version
Isaiah 57
1 That the righteous is taken away from evil. 2 Each one walking in his uprightness. 3 You offspring of the adulterer and the harlot! 4 Offspring of falsehood, 5 Under the clefts of the rocks? 6 Should I receive comfort in these? 7 To offer sacrifice. 8 Where you saw their nudity. 9 And even descended to Sheol. 10 Therefore you were not grieved. 11 That you do not fear Me? 12 For they will not profit you. 13 And shall inherit My holy mountain.” 14 Take the stumbling block out of the way of My people.” 15 And to revive the heart of the contrite ones. 16 And the souls which I have made. 17 And he went on backsliding in the way of his heart. 18 And to his mourners. 19 “And I will heal him.” 20 Whose waters cast up mire and dirt. 21 Says my God, “for the wicked.”
