Isaiah 57:2 Context
1The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart; and mercifull men are taken away none considering that the righteous is taken away from the euill to come. 2Hee shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his vprightnesse. 3¶ But draw neere hither, yee sonnes of the sorceresse, the seed of the adulterer, and the whore. 4Against whom doe ye sport your selues? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seede of falsehood?

Wesley's Notes for Isaiah 57:2
57:2 He - This just and merciful man shall enter into a state of rest, where he shall be out of the reach of the approaching miseries. They - just men. Here is a sudden change of the number, which is very frequent in the prophets. Beds - In their graves, which are not unfitly called their beds, as their death is commonly called sleep in scripture.
