Israel’s Futile Idolatry

57 The righteous man perishes,
and no one lays it to heart;
devout men are taken away,
    while no one understands.
For the righteous man is taken away from calamity,
    he enters into peace;

    who walk in their uprightness.
But you, draw near hither,
    sons of the sorceress,
    offspring of the adulterer and the harlot.

    you offspring of adulterers(G) and prostitutes!(H)
