Isaiah 55

CLV(i) 1 Ho! Every thirsty one! Go to the water! And he who has no money, go, purchase and eat and drink, and go, purchase with no money and with no price, wine and milk." 2 Why will you weigh out money for that which is not bread? And give your labor for that which gives no satisfaction? Hearken, yea hearken to Me, and eat what is good. And deliciousness in sleekness shall your soul enjoy." 3 Stretch out your ear and go to Me; hear Me, and your soul shall live in good. And I will contract with you a covenant eonian, the kindnesses of David that are faithful." 4 Behold! A Witness to the folkstems I make Him, a Governor and Instructor for the folkstems." 5 Behold! A nation not known to you, you shall call, and a nation which does not know you, to you shall run, on account of Yahweh, your Elohim, and for the Holy One of Israel; for He beautifies you." 6 Inquire for Yahweh while He is to be found; call Him while He comes to be near. 7 Forsake shall the wicked one his way, and the lawless man his devices, and he shall return to Yahweh, and He will have compassion on him, and to our Elohim, for he will increasingly pardon your sins." 8 For not as My devices are your devices, and not as your ways are My ways,averring is Yahweh." 9 For as the heavens are loftier than the earth, so are My ways loftier than your ways, and my devices than your devices." 10 For, as descending is the downpour and the snow from the heavens, yet there it is not returning, but rather soaks the earth, and causes it to bear and to sprout, and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater, 11 so shall be My word which shall fare forth from My mouth. It shall not return to Me empty, but rather, it does that which I desire, and prospers in that for which I sent it." 12 For with rejoicing shall you go forth, and with welfare shall you be fetched. The mountains and the hills shall crash into jubilation before you, and all the trees of the field shall clap their palms." 13 And instead of the thorn tree, up shall come the fir, and instead of the nettle, up shall come the myrtle. And it comes to be to Yahweh for a name, and for a sign eonian that shall not be cut off."
