Isaiah 55:6-13

6SeekH1875 ye YhwhH3068 while he may be foundH4672, callH7121 ye upon him while he is nearH7138: 7Let the wickedH7563 forsakeH5800 his wayH1870, and the unrighteousH205 manH376 his thoughtsH4284: and let him returnH7725 unto YhwhH3068, and he will have mercyH7355 upon him; and to our GodH430, for he will abundantlyH7235 pardonH5545.12

8For my thoughtsH4284 are not your thoughtsH4284, neither are your waysH1870 my waysH1870, saithH5002 YhwhH3068. 9For as the heavensH8064 are higherH1361 than the earthH776, so 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 returnethH7725 not thither, but waterethH7301 the earthH776, and maketh it bring forthH3205 and budH6779, that it may giveH5414 seedH2233 to the sowerH2232, and breadH3899 to the eaterH398: 11So shall my wordH1697 be that goeth forthH3318 out of my mouthH6310: it shall not returnH7725 unto me voidH7387, but it shall accomplishH6213 that which I pleaseH2654, and it shall prosperH6743 in the thing whereto I sentH7971 it. 12For ye shall go outH3318 with joyH8057, and be led forthH2986 with peaceH7965: the mountainsH2022 and the hillsH1389 shall break forthH6476 beforeH6440 you into singingH7440, and all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 shall clapH4222 their handsH3709. 13Instead of the thornH5285 shall come upH5927 the fir treeH1265, and instead of the brierH5636 shall come upH5927 the myrtle treeH1918: and it shall be to YhwhH3068 for a nameH8034, for an everlastingH5769 signH226 that shall not be cut offH3772.
