57 The righteous perishes,
And no man takes it to heart;
^(A)Merciful men are taken away,
^(B)While no one considers
That the righteous is taken away from ^[a]evil.

² The ^(A)faithful^[a] man has perished from the earth,
And there is no one upright among men.
They all lie in wait for blood;
^(B)Every man hunts his brother with a net.
