Isaiah
55:6-13 (New King James Version)
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 man his thoughts;
Let him return to the LORD,
And He will have mercy on him;
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.
8
For My thoughts are not your
thoughts,
Nor 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 comes down, and the snow from heaven,
And do not return there,
But water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,
11
So shall My word be that goes
forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing
for which I sent it.
12
For you shall go out with joy,
And be led out with peace;
The mountains and the hills
Shall break forth into singing before
you,
And all the trees of the field shall
clap their hands.
13
Instead of the thorn shall
come up the cypress 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.”
