Versi relativi a Isaiah, 57:

Isaiah 57 is a chapter that talks about idolatry and the infidelity of Israel, as well as God's promise to bring healing and salvation to his people. There is also a warning to those who trust in their own righteousness and disobey God. Here are five verses related to these themes:

Proverbs 14:12: "There is way that seems right to man, but in the end leads to death." This verse warns of trust in our own wisdom and understanding that can lead to spiritual death.

Jeremiah 2:13: "For my people have committed two evils: They abandoned me the source of living water, and dug cisterns, cracked cisterns that do not retain water." Here, Jeremiah speaks of Israel's infidelity to seek other sources of water rather than trusting in God, the true source of life.

Hosea 14:1: "Come back, O Israel, to the Lord, your God. His sins have led them to the fall!" This verse calls Israel to repent and return to God, recognizing His guilt in His spiritual fall.

2 Chronicles 7:14: "If my people, which is called by my name, humble themselves, pray and pursue my face and move away from their evil ways, from heaven I will hear them, forgive their sin and heal yours Earth." This verse offers God's promise of healing and restoration to those who repent and return to Him.

Ezekiel 36:26: "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit into you; I will take from you the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." This verse speaks of God's promise to transform the hearts of those who turn to Him, replacing hardness and coldness with a heart full of love and compassion.
