Isaiah 57:2

Or, "he entereth into peace"; in contrast to the persecutions which he suffered in this world (Job 3:13, Job 3:17). The Margin not so well translates, "he shall go in peace" (Psalms 37:37; Luke 2:29).

rest—the calm rest of their bodies in their graves (called "beds," II Chronicles 16:14; compare Isaiah 14:18; because they "sleep" in them, with the certainty of awakening at the resurrection, I Thessalonians 4:14) is the emblem of the eternal "rest" (Hebrews 4:9; Revelation 14:13).
