Isaiah 57:2 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

He shall enter into peace... — Notice- able as presenting the brighter side of the dim thoughts of Israel as to the life behind the veil, and so far contrasted with Hezekiah’s shrinking fear. (Comp. Job 3:17.) For the righteous there was peace in death as in life. For the wicked there was peace in neither (Isaiah 57:21).

They shall rest in their beds. — The “bed” is obviously the grave, the thought following naturally on that of death being as the sleep “after life’s fitful fever.” (Ezekiel 32:25.)

Each one walking in his uprightness. — Better, every one who has walked straight before him — has taken, i.e., the straight path of duty (Isaiah 30:21.)
