Isaiah 57:1,2 - The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann

Bible Comments

v. 1. The righteous perisheth, namely, while the false teachers are forsaking their duties, and no man layeth it to heart, no one is aware of the fact that the hand of God interferes in graciously taking the believing Israelite out of this world before the great Judgment descends upon it; and merciful men are taken away, by a sudden death, apparently before their time, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.

Isaiah 57:1-2

1 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and mercifula men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.

2 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.
