Isaiah 55:1-9 ▼

1 |Come, everyone who is thirsty, come to the waters! Also, you that have no money, come, buy, and eat! Come! Buy wine and milk without money and without price.

2 Why spend your money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in rich food.

3 Pay attention to me, come to me; and listen, so that you may live; then I'll make an everlasting covenant with you, as promised by my faithful, sure love for David.

4 |Look! I have made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander of the peoples.

5 |Look! You will call a nation that you do not know, and a nation that does not know you will run to you, because of the LORD your God, even the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified you.|

6 |Seek the LORD while he may be found, call upon him while he is near.

7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous person his thoughts. Let him return to the LORD, So he'll have mercy upon him, and to our God, for he'll pardon abundantly.

8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways,| declares the LORD.

9 |For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
