Come to the LORD
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 55:1 -

“Come, everyone who is thirsty,

come to the water;

and you without silver,

come, buy, and eat!

Come, buy wine and milk

without silver and without cost!

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 55:2 -

“Why do you spend silver on what is not food,

and your wages on what does not satisfy?

Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good,

and you will enjoy the choicest of foods.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 55:3 -

“Pay attention and come to me;

listen, so that you will live.

I will make a permanent covenant with you

on the basis of the faithful kindnesses of David.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 55:4 -

“Since I have made him a witness to the peoples,

a leader and commander for the peoples,

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 55:5 -

“so you will summon a nation you do not know,

and nations who do not know you will run to you.

For the LORD your God,

even the Holy One of Israel,

has glorified you.”

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 55:6 -

Seek the LORD while he may be found;

call to him while he is near.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 55:7 -

Let the wicked one abandon his way

and the sinful one his thoughts;

let him return to the LORD,

so he may have compassion on him,

and to our God, for he will freely forgive.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 55:8 -

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,

and your ways are not my ways.”

This is the LORD’s declaration.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 55:9 -

“For as heaven is higher than earth,

so my ways are higher than your ways,

and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 55:10 -

“For just as rain and snow fall from heaven

and do not return there

without saturating the earth

and making it germinate and sprout,

and providing seed to sow

and food to eat,

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 55:11 -

“so my word that comes from my mouth

will not return to me empty,

but it will accomplish what I please

and will prosper in what I send it to do.”

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 55:12 -

You will indeed go out with joy

and be peacefully guided;

the mountains and the hills will break into singing before you,

and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 55:13 -

Instead of the thornbush, a cypress will come up,

and instead of the brier, a myrtle will come up;

this will stand as a monument for the LORD,

an everlasting sign that will not be destroyed.
