Isaiah 55:1-13

55
Chapter 55
1 Everyone who is thirsty, go to the waters, and he who has no silver, go, buy and eat, and go, buy without silver and without price, wine and milk. 2 Why do you weigh out silver for what is not bread, and your labor for what does not satisfy? Hear—listen to me and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in fat things for your nephesh. 3 Incline your ear and come to me; hear, and your soul will live, and I will cut for you an everlasting covenant, the faithful steadfast loves of David. 4 Look, a witness to nations I have given him, a ruler and commander to peoples. 5 Look, a nation you do not know will call, and a nation that does not know you will run to you, for the sake of the LORD your God and the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified you. 6 Seek the LORD while he is found, call him while he is near. 7 Let the wicked abandon his way, and the man of iniquity his thoughts, and let him return to the LORD and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will multiply forgiveness. 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. 10 For as the rain and the snow descend from heaven and do not return there, but saturate the land and make it bring forth and sprout, and provide seed to the sower and bread to the eater. 11 So it will be with my word that goes out from my mouth; it will not return to me empty, but rather it will accomplish what I desire and achieve what I sent it to do. 12 For you will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. 13 Instead of the thornbush a cypress will come up, and instead of the brier a myrtle will come up; and it will be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign, it will not be cut off.
