The Book of Isaiah (WEB)
55: 1Ho, everyone who thirsts, come you to the waters, and he who has no money; come you,
buy, and eat; yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. 55:2Why do you
spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which doesn't satisfy? listen
diligently to me, and eat you that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. 55:3Turn
your ear, and come to me; hear, and your soul shall live: and I will make an everlasting covenant
with you, even the sure mercies of David. 55:4Behold, I have given him for a witness to the peoples,
a leader and commander to the peoples. 55:5Behold, you shall call a nation that you don't know; and
a nation that didn't know you shall run to you, because of Yahweh your God, and for the Holy One
of Israel; for he has glorified you. 55:6Seek you Yahweh while he may be found; call you on him
while he is near: 55:7let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let
him return to Yahweh, and he will have mercy on him; and to our God, for he will abundantly
pardon. 55:8For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says Yahweh.
55:9For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my
thoughts than your thoughts. 55:10For as the rain comes down and the snow from the sky, and
doesn't return there, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, and gives seed to the
sower and bread to the eater; 55:11so shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not
return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing
whereto I sent it. 55:12For you shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and
the hills shall break forth before you into singing; and all the trees of the fields shall clap their
hands. 55:13Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree; and instead of the brier shall come up the
myrtle tree: and it shall be to Yahweh for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
