Isaiah 55
American Standard Version
1Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the watersH4325, and he that hath no moneyH3701; come ye, buyH7666, and eatH398; yea, come, buyH7666 wineH3196 and milkH2461 without moneyH3701 and without price. 2Wherefore do ye spend moneyH3701 for that which is not breadH3899? and your labor for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eatH398 ye that which is goodH2896, and let your soulH5315 delightH6026 itself in fatnessH1880. 3InclineH5186 your earH241, and come unto me; hearH8085, and your soulH5315 shall liveH2421: and I will makeH3772 an everlasting covenantH1285 with you, even the sure mercies of DavidH1732. 4Behold, I have givenH5414 him for a witnessH5707 to the peoplesH3816, a leaderH5057 and commander to the peoplesH3816. 5Behold, thou shalt callH7121 a nationH1471 that thou knowest not; and a nationH1471 that knewH3045 not thee shall runH7323 unto thee, because of Jehovah thy GodH430, and for the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478; for he hath glorifiedH6286 thee.
6SeekH1875 ye Jehovah while he may beH1961 foundH4672; callH7121 ye upon him while he is near: 7let the wickedH7563 forsakeH5800 his wayH1870, and the unrighteous manH376 his thoughtsH4284; and let him returnH7725 unto Jehovah, and he will have mercyH7355 upon him; and to our GodH430, for he will abundantly pardon. 8For my thoughtsH4284 are not your thoughtsH4284, neither are your waysH1870 my waysH1870, saith Jehovah. 9For as the heavensH8064 are higherH1361 than the earthH776, soH3651 are my waysH1870 higherH1361 than your waysH1870, and my thoughtsH4284 than your thoughtsH4284. 10For as the rainH1653 cometh downH3381 and the snowH7950 from heavenH8064, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earthH776, and maketh it bringH7725 forthH3205 and bud, and giveth seedH2233 to the sowerH2232 and breadH3899 to the eater; 11soH3651 shall my wordH1697 beH1961 that goeth forthH3318 out of my mouthH6310: it shall not returnH7725 unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosperH6743 in the thingH1697 whereto I sentH7971 it. 12For ye shall goH3318 out with joyH8057, and be led forthH3318 with peaceH7965: the mountainsH2022 and the hillsH1389 shall breakH6476 forthH3318 before you into singing; and all the treesH6086 of the fieldsH7704 shall clapH4222 their handsH3709. 13Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir-tree; and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle-tree: and it shall beH1961 to Jehovah for a nameH8034, for an everlasting signH226 that shall not beH1961 cutH3772 off.
