57 The righteous person perishes,
and no one takes it to heart;

that the righteous person is taken away
because of[a] evil.
He will enter into peace—
they will rest on their beds[b]
everyone who lives uprightly.

Pagan Religion Denounced

But come here,
you witch’s sons,
offspring of an adulterer and a prostitute![c]
