Chapter 57
Isaiah Chapter 57 on Truths About Being Righteous in G-d’s Eyes Against Being Wicked
This Chapter Proves That Humility Is A Sign Of Righteousness
Instead of competing with people around you, it is always best not to. v. 15
Also, doing good deeds is of G-d. Not doing so and depending on other entity as their hope is idol worshiping.
“The Righteous” versus “The Idolaters”
The righteous one perishes, and no man takes it to heart; men of kindness are gathered in with no one understanding that because of the impending evil the righteous one was gathered in.
57:1
He will come in peace; they will rest on their resting places — he who walks in his integrity.
:2
Behind the door and the doorpost you placed your remembrance [-idol]; for you exiled yourself from Me and rose up beside Me; you expanded your bed and you made covenants with them for yourself whenever you saw a place to demonstrate your love.
:8
You did not remember Me; you did not take [Me] to your heart. Behold, I have been silent, as always — but you did not fear Me.
:11
I proclaim how you should be righteous and what deeds you should do, but they will not avail you.
:12
But the one who trusts in Me will have a portion in the earth and will inherit My holy mountain.
:13
For thus said the exalted and uplifted One, Who abides forever and Whose Name is holy: I abide in exaltedness and holiness, but I am with the despondent and lowly of spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the despondent.
:15
I became angry because of his sinful thievery; I struck him, I hid Myself and became angry, because he continued waywardly in the path of his heart.
:17
But when I see his [contrite] ways, I will heal him; I will guide him and recompense him and his mourners with consolations.
:18
I create the speech of the lips: ‘Peace, peace, for the far and near, ‘said Hashem,’ and I will heal him.’
:19
‘There is no peace,’ said my God, ‘for the wicked.’
:21
1 The righteous man has perished, but no one takes it to heart, and men of kindness are taken away, with no one understanding that because of the evil the righteous man has been taken away.
2 He shall come in peace; they shall rest in their resting- place, whoever walks in his uprightness.
3 And you, draw near hither, children of sorcery; children who commit adultery, and played the whore.
4 On whom will you [rely to] enjoy yourselves; against whom do you open your mouth wide; against whom do you stick out your tongue? Are you not children of transgression, seed of falsehood?
5 You who inflame yourselves among the terebinths, under every green tree, who slaughter the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks.
6 Of the smooth [stones] of the valley is your portion; they, they are your lot; to them too you have poured out libations, offered up sacrifices; in the face of these shall I relent?
7 On a high and lofty mountain you placed your couch; there too you went to slaughter sacrifices.
8 And behind the door and the doorpost you have directed your thoughts, for while with Me, you uncovered [us] and went up, you widened your couch and made for yourself [a covenant] with them; you loved their couch, you chose a place.
9 And you brought a gift to the king with oil, and you increased your perfumes; and you sent your ambassadors far off, and you humbled them to the grave.
10 With the length of your way you became wearied; you did not say, “Despair.” The power of your hand you found; therefore, you were not stricken ill.
11 And whom did you dread and fear, that you failed, and you did not remember Me; you did not lay [Me] to your heart. Indeed, I am silent and from everlasting, but you do not fear Me.
12 I tell your righteousness and your deeds, and they shall not avail you.
13 When you cry out, let your collections save you; wind shall carry all of them off, a breath shall take them, but he who trusts in Me shall inherit the land and shall inherit My holy mount.
14 And he shall say, “Pave, pave, clear the way; remove the obstacles from the way of My people.”
15 For so said the High and Exalted One, Who dwells to eternity, and His name is Holy, “With the lofty and the holy ones I dwell, and with the crushed and humble in spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble and to revive the heart of the crushed.
16 For I will not contend forever, neither will I be wroth to eternity, when a spirit from before Me humbles itself, and souls [which] I have made.
17 For the iniquity of his thievery I became wroth, and I smote him, I hid Myself and became wroth, for he went rebelliously in the way of his heart.
18 I saw his ways and I will heal him, and I will lead him and requite with consolations him and his mourners.
19 [I] create the speech of the lips; peace, peace to the far and to the near,” says the Lord, “and I will heal him.”
20 But the wicked are like the turbulent sea, for it cannot rest, and its waters cast up mud and dirt.
21 “There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”
