ESVEnglish Standard Version

The righteous man perishes,

and no one lays it to heart;

devout men are taken away,

while no one understands.

For the righteous man is taken away from calamity;

he enters into peace;

they rest in their beds

who walk in their uprightness.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

The righteous perish,

and no one takes it to heart;

the devout are taken away,

and no one understands

that the righteous are taken away

to be spared from evil.

Those who walk uprightly

enter into peace;

they find rest as they lie in death.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

The righteous person perishes,

and no one takes it to heart;

the faithful are taken away,

with no one realizing

that the righteous person is taken away

because of evil.

He will enter into peace—

they will rest on their beds—

everyone who lives uprightly.

NLTNew Living Translation

Good people pass away;

the godly often die before their time.

But no one seems to care or wonder why.

No one seems to understand

that God is protecting them from the evil to come.

For those who follow godly paths

will rest in peace when they die.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

The righteous one perishes, and there is no one who takes it to heart.

And men of faithfulness are gathered, while there is no one who understands,

for the righteous is gathered from the presence of wickedness.

he enters into peace;

they will rest on their beds,

walking straight ahead of him.

KJV 1900King James Version

The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart:

And merciful men are taken away, none considering

That the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.

He shall enter into peace:

They shall rest in their beds,

Each one walking in his uprightness.
