good boy, good boy...

Found this passage in the bible, which i thought rather strange.

The righteous perish,
and no one ponders it in his heart;
devout men 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.
- Isaiah 57:1,2

Sure gives meaning to the lyrics of that tagalog rap song, "Good boy, good boy, ang bait mo naman, sana kunin ka na ni Lord."
