Isaiah:55
Seeker Overlay ON
* "
Ho ,
every one who thirsts ,
come to the waters ;
and he who has no money ,
come ,
buy and eat !
Come ,
buy wine and milk without money and without price .
*
Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread ,
and your labor for that which does not satisfy ?
Hearken diligently to me ,
and eat what is good ,
and delight yourselves in fatness .
*
Incline your ear ,
and come to me ;
hear ,
that your soul may live ;
and I will make with you an everlasting covenant ,
my steadfast ,
sure love for David .
*
Behold ,
I made him a witness to the peoples ,
a leader and commander for the peoples .
*
Behold ,
you shall call nations that you know not ,
and nations that knew you not shall run to you ,
because of the LORD your God ,
and of the Holy One of Israel ,
for he has glorified you .
* "
Seek the LORD while he may be found ,
call upon him while he is near ;
*
let the wicked forsake his way ,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts ;
let him return to the LORD ,
that he may have mercy on him ,
and to our God ,
for he will abundantly pardon .
*
For my thoughts are not your thoughts ,
neither are your ways my ways ,
says the LORD .
*
For as the heavens are higher than the earth ,
so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts .
* "
For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven ,
and return not thither but water the earth ,
making it bring forth and sprout ,
giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater ,
*
so shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth ;
it shall not return to me empty ,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose ,
and prosper in the thing for which I sent it .
* "
For you shall go out in joy ,
and be led forth in peace ;
the mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing ,
and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands .
*
Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress ;
instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle ;
and it shall be to the LORD for a memorial ,
for an everlasting sign which shall not be cut off ."
