Isaiah 57:1-2

Evil Leaders Rebuked

The righteous man perishes, and no man ^(A)takes it to heart;
And devout men are taken away, while no one understands.
For the righteous man is taken away from ^(B)evil,

He enters into peace;
They rest in their ^(a)beds,
Each one who ^(C)walked in his upright way.
