Isaiah 55

55“Is anyone thirsty? Come and drink—even if you have no money! Come, take your choice of wine or milk—it’s all free!H1945H6771H3212H4325H3701H3212H7666H398H3212H7666H3196H2461H3701H4242 2Why spend your money on food that does not give you strength? Why pay for food that does you no good? Listen to me, and you will eat what is good. You will enjoy the finest food.H8254H3701H3899H3018H7654H3808H8085H8085H398H2896H5315H6026H1880 3“Come to me with your ears wide open. Listen, and you will find life. I will make an everlasting covenant with you. I will give you all the unfailing love I promised to David.H5186H241H3212H8085H5315H2421H3772H5769H1285H539H2617H1732 4See how I used him to display my power among the peoples. I made him a leader among the nations.H5414H5707H3816H5057H6680H3816 5You also will command nations you do not know, and peoples unknown to you will come running to obey, because I, the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, have made you glorious.”H7121H1471H3045H1471H3045H7323H3068H430H6918H3478H6286 6Seek the Lord while you can find him. Call on him now while he is near.H1875H3068H4672H7121H7138 7Let the wicked change their ways and banish the very thought of doing wrong. Let them turn to the Lord that he may have mercy on them. Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive generously.H7563H5800H1870H205H376H4284H7725H3068H7355H430H7235H5545 8“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.H4284H4284H1870H1870H5002H3068 9For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.H8064H1361H776H1870H1361H1870H4284H4284 10“The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth. They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry.H1653H3381H7950H8064H7725H7301H776H3205H6779H5414H2233H2232H3899H398 11It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it.H1697H3318H6310H7725H7387H6213H2654H6743H7971 12You will live in joy and peace. The mountains and hills will burst into song, and the trees of the field will clap their hands!H3318H8057H2986H7965H2022H1389H6476H6440H7440H6086H7704H4222H3709 13Where once there were thorns, cypress trees will grow. Where nettles grew, myrtles will sprout up. These events will bring great honor to the Lord’s name; they will be an everlasting sign of his power and love.”H5285H5927H1265H5636H5927H1918H3068H8034H5769H226H3772
