Chapter 57.

00:02.970 --> 00:08.690
The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth
it to heart, and merciful men are taken

00:08.690 --> 00:13.090
away, none considering that the righteous
is taken away from the evil to come.

00:13.670 --> 00:15.250
He shall enter into peace.

00:15.810 --> 00:20.030
They shall rest in their beds,
each one walking in his uprightness.

00:20.910 --> 00:26.070
But draw near hither, ye sons of the
sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and

00:26.070 --> 00:26.510
the whore.

00:26.510 --> 00:29.430
Against whom do ye sport yourselves?

00:29.890 --> 00:33.630
Against whom make ye a wide mouth,
and draw out the tongue?

00:34.450 --> 00:38.150
Are ye not children of transgression,
a seed of falsehood?

00:39.030 --> 00:44.110
And flaming yourselves with idols under
every green tree, slaying the children in

00:44.110 --> 00:45.870
the valleys under the cliffs of the rocks?

00:46.550 --> 00:49.590
Among the smooth stones of the stream is
thy portion.

00:50.790 --> 00:52.650
They, they are thy lot.

00:53.310 --> 00:55.690
Even to them hast thou poured a drink
offering.

00:55.690 --> 00:57.970
Thou hast offered a meat offering.

00:58.610 --> 01:00.490
Should I receive comfort in these?

01:01.250 --> 01:04.610
Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou
set thy bed.

01:05.070 --> 01:08.330
Even thither wentest thou up to offer
sacrifice.

01:09.150 --> 01:13.690
Behind the doors also and the posts hast
thou set up thy remembrance.

01:14.310 --> 01:18.310
For thou hast discovered thyself to
another than me, and art gone up.

01:18.890 --> 01:22.230
Thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee
a covenant with them.

01:22.710 --> 01:24.970
Thou lovest their bed where thou sawest
it.

01:24.970 --> 01:29.810
And thou wentest to the king with
ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes,

01:30.110 --> 01:35.070
and didst send thy messengers far off,
and didst debase thyself even unto hell.

01:35.530 --> 01:37.710
Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy
way.

01:38.510 --> 01:40.530
Yet saidst thou not, There is no hope?

01:41.010 --> 01:43.070
Thou hast found the life of thine hand.

01:43.590 --> 01:45.090
Therefore thou hast not grieved.

01:45.670 --> 01:49.290
And of whom hast thou been afraid,
or feared, that thou hast lied,

01:49.670 --> 01:52.650
and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to
thy heart?

01:53.470 --> 01:58.070
Have not I held my peace, even of old,
and thou fearest me not?

01:58.650 --> 02:03.430
I will declare thy righteousness and thy
works, for they shall not profit thee.

02:04.030 --> 02:06.990
When thou cryest, let thy companies
deliver thee.

02:07.430 --> 02:09.450
But the wind shall carry them all away.

02:10.090 --> 02:11.290
Vanity shall take them.

02:11.870 --> 02:16.010
But he that putteth his trust in me shall
possess the land, and shall inherit my

02:16.010 --> 02:16.630
holy mountain.

02:17.770 --> 02:23.710
And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up,
prepare the way, take up the stumbling

02:23.710 --> 02:25.210
block out of the way of my people.

02:25.930 --> 02:30.730
For thus saith the high and lofty one that
inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy.

02:31.370 --> 02:36.050
I dwell in the high and holy place,
with him also that is of a contrite and

02:36.050 --> 02:40.690
humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the
humble, and to revive the heart of the

02:40.690 --> 02:41.510
contrite ones.

02:42.330 --> 02:46.650
For I will not contend forever,
neither will I be always wroth,

02:46.650 --> 02:51.030
for the spirit should fail before me,
and the souls which I have made.

02:51.730 --> 02:55.090
For the iniquity of his covetousness was I
wroth, and smote him.

02:55.550 --> 03:00.370
I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on
frowardly in the way of his heart.

03:00.970 --> 03:03.970
I have seen his ways, and will heal him.

03:04.610 --> 03:09.070
I will lead him also, and restore comforts
unto him, and to his mourners.

03:09.470 --> 03:11.070
I create the fruit of the lips.

03:11.930 --> 03:17.470
Peace, peace to him that is far off,
and to him that is near, saith the Lord.

03:18.070 --> 03:19.850
And I will heal him.

03:21.430 --> 03:26.670
But the wicked are like the troubled sea,
when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up

03:26.670 --> 03:27.590
mire and dirt.

03:28.430 --> 03:32.350
There is no peace, saith my God,
to the wicked.
