Notes
The wicked would not be able to rest in peace (57:21).
This is a lament for the righteous who suffer in a wicked society.
This passage reflects on how common evil had become among God’s people. Many of them were greedy and wanted more and more for themselves (Isaiah 56:9–12). They treated righteous people with hatred and violence (Isaiah 57:1–2). They also worshiped idols instead of the true God (Isaiah 57:3–13).
