Isaiah 55:1-11

Isaiah 55:1-11

[1] Ho,  every one that thirsteth,  ye to the waters,  and he that hath no money;  ye, buy,  and eat;  buy  wine  and milk  without money  and without price.  [2] Wherefore do ye spend  money  for that which is not bread?  and your labour  for that which satisfieth  not?  hearken  unto me, and eat  ye that which is good,  and let your soul  delight  itself in fatness.  [3] Incline  your ear,  unto me: hear,  and your soul  shall live;  and I will make  an everlasting  covenant  with you, even the sure  mercies  of David.  [4] Behold, I have given  him for a witness  to the people,  a leader  and commander  to the people.  [5] Behold, thou shalt call  a nation  that thou knowest  not, and nations  that knew  not thee shall run  unto thee because of the LORD  thy God,  and for the Holy One  of Israel;  for he hath glorified  thee. [6] Seek  ye the LORD  while he may be found,  call  ye upon him while he is near:  [7] Let the wicked  forsake  his way,  and the unrighteous  man  his thoughts:  and let him return  and he will have mercy  upon him; and to our God,  for he will abundantly  pardon.  [8] For my thoughts  neither are your ways  saith  the LORD.  [9] For as the heavens  are higher  than the earth,  so are my ways  higher  than your ways,  and my thoughts  [10] For as the rain  cometh down,  and the snow  from heaven,  and returneth  not thither, but watereth  the earth,  and maketh it bring forth  and bud,  that it may give  seed  to the sower,  and bread  to the eater:  [11] So shall my word  be that goeth forth  out of my mouth:  it shall not return  unto me void,  but it shall accomplish  that which I please,  and it shall prosper  in the thing whereto I sent
