Israel’s Futile Idolatry
And no man takes it to heart;
aMerciful men are taken away,
bWhile no one considers
That the righteous is taken away from1 evil.
Against whom do you make a wide mouth
And stick out the tongue?
Are you not children of transgression,
Offspring of falsehood,
bSlaying the children in the valleys,
Under the clefts of the rocks?
Is your portion;
They, they, are your lot!
Even to them you have poured a drink offering,
You have offered a grain offering.
Should I receive comfort in bthese?
| << Isaiah 57:2 | Isaiah 57:4 >> |
