Isaiah 57:1-21
The righteous perish, and no one ponders it in his heart; devout men are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil.
God accuses against the wicked one, you were wearied by all your ways, but you would not say,'It is hopeless.' You foud renewal of your strength, and so you did ot faint.
Whom have you so dreaded and feared that you have been false to me, and have neither remembered me nor pondered this in your hearts? Is it not because I have long been silent that you do ot fear me?
When you cry out for help, let your collection of idols save you! The wind will carry all of them off, a mere breath will blow them away. But the man who makes me his refuge will inhherit the land and possess my holy moutain.
Build up, build up, prepare the road! Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people. For this is what the high and lofty One says -- he who lives forever, whose name is holy: I live in a high and holy place, but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit.
"Peace to those far and near", says the Lord. "And I will heal them". But the wicked are like the tossing sea, which cannot rest. "There is no peace", says my God, "for the wicked."
Why?
The pagan rites involved prostitution. Idolatrous Israel, unfaithful to God, is pictured as a prostitute.
The Lord protect the righteous man, even taken away their life.
It is the reason that wicked one does not fear the Lord, for God keep silent for long time. They forgot the work and creation of the Lord.
What we have to do in this world? Build up to prepare the road of godpel and remove the obstacles out of the way of God's people.
God is in high and holy place, and He is also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit. God is with me, so I do not fear.
How?
Even I feel uncomfortable in my physical condition, I believe that the Lord is with me, he will restore me and heals me. Peace in my heart. This is the difference between God's people and the wicked one.
