Viewing verse 4 of Isaiah 57 (with context)
Read Full Chapter The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.**

Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.
