ISAIAH ยท Chapter 55
55:1 Ho, every one that thirsts, come all of you to the waters, and
he that has no money; come all of you, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine
and milk without money and without price.
55:2 Wherefore do all of you spend money for that which is not bread?
and your labour for that which satisfies not? hearken diligently unto me,
and eat all of you that which is good, and let your soul delight itself
in fatness.
55:3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall
live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies
of David.
55:4 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader
and commander to the people.
55:5 Behold, you shall call a nation that you know not, and nations
that knew not you shall run unto you because of the LORD your God, and
for the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified you.
55:6 Seek all of you the LORD while he may be found, call all of you
upon him while he is near:
55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts:
and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and
to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my
ways, says the LORD.
55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher
than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
55:10 For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and returns
not thither, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, that
it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
55:11 So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall
not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and
it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
55:12 For all of you shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace:
the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing,
and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
55:13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead
of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD
for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
