Isaiah 57Israel’s Futile Idolatry

1

4 you have uncovered your bed;

you have gone up to it;

you have made it wide;

and you have made a bargain for yourself with them;

you have loved their bed;

you have gazed on their nakedness.

9 with oil

and multiplied your perfumes;

you sent your envoys far away

and sent them down to Sheol.

10

and so you do not fear me?

12I will announce your verdict,

and the objects you made will not help you.

13

Peace, peace, to the far and the near, says the Lord,

and I will heal them.

20 Job 18.5–14 But the wicked are like the tossing sea

that cannot keep still;

its waters toss up mire and mud.

21 Isa 48.22 There is no peace, says my God, for the wicked.
