Charles Ellicott Commentary Isaiah 57:2

"He entereth into peace; they rest in their beds, each one that walketh in his uprightness." — Isaiah 57:2 (ASV)

He shall enter into peace ... —Noticeable as presenting the brighter side of the dim thoughts of Israel as to the life behind the veil, and so far contrasted with Hezekiah’s shrinking fear . For the righteous there was peace in death as in life. For the wicked there was peace in neither (Isaiah 57:21).

They shall rest in their beds. —The “bed” is obviously the grave, the thought following naturally on that of death being as the sleep “after life’s fitful fever” (Ezekiel 32:25).

Each one walking in his uprightness. —Better, every one who has walked straight before him —has taken, i.e., the straight path of duty (Isaiah 30:21).
