2 Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death.
2 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.
2 he enters into peace; they rest in their beds who walk in their uprightness.
2 They lived well and with dignity and now they're finally at peace.
2 He shall enter into peace; They shall rest in their beds, Each one walking in his uprightness.
2 For those who follow godly paths will rest in peace when they die.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Isaiah 57:2
Commentary on Isaiah 57:1-2
(Read Isaiah 57:1-2)
The righteous are delivered from the sting of death, not from the stroke of it. The careless world disregards this. Few lament it as a public loss, and very few notice it as a public warning. They are taken away in compassion, that they may not see the evil, nor share in it, nor be tempted by it. The righteous man, when he dies, enters into peace and rest.
