📚 Historical Context
Isaiah was a prophet in ancient Judah during the 8th century BC, a time when the nation faced threats from powerful empires like Assyria and struggled with widespread idolatry and moral decline. In Isaiah 57, he delivers a message of judgment against the unfaithful, highlighting God's displeasure with wickedness and the consequences it brings. This verse fits into the broader prophetic theme of contrasting God's peace for the repentant with the unrest awaiting the wicked.
