Isaiah 57:3 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? 5Inflaming your selues with idoles vnder euery greene tree, slaying the children in the valleys vnder the cliftes of the rockes?

Wesley's Notes for Isaiah 57:3
57:3 Hither - To God's tribunal, to receive your sentence. Sons - Not by propagation, but by imitation. And the whore - Not the genuine children of Abraham, their dispositions were far more suitable to a bastardly brood, than to Abraham's seed.
