Yesaya 2:7

there is no end to their wealth. 1
Their land is full of horses;
there is no end to their chariots. 2

‘I am no doctor, 5
I have no food or coat in my house;
don’t make me a leader of the people!’”
Yesaya 5:27

Yesaya 6:11
Konteks6:11 I replied, “How long, sovereign master?” He said,
“Until cities are in ruins and unpopulated,
and houses are uninhabited,
and the land is ruined and devastated,
Yesaya 42:22
Konteks42:22 But these people are looted and plundered;
all of them are trapped in pits 7
and held captive 8 in prisons.
They were carried away as loot with no one to rescue them;
they were carried away as plunder, and no one says, “Bring that back!” 9
Yesaya 57:1

Honest people disappear, 12
that the godly 15 disappear 16 because of 17 evil. 18
Yesaya 59:4
Konteks59:4 No one is concerned about justice; 19
no one sets forth his case truthfully.
They depend on false words 20 and tell lies;
they conceive of oppression 21
and give birth to sin.
Yesaya 59:16
Konteks59:16 He sees there is no advocate; 22
he is shocked 23 that no one intervenes.
So he takes matters into his own hands; 24
his desire for justice drives him on. 25

[57:1] 18 tn The translation assumes that this verse, in proverbial fashion, laments society’s apathy over the persecution of the godly. The second half of the verse observes that such apathy results in more widespread oppression. Since the next verse pictures the godly being taken to a place of rest, some interpret the second half of v. 1 in a more positive vein. According to proponents of this view, God removes the godly so that they might be spared suffering and calamity, a fact which the general populace fails to realize.
