The Bible

Isaiah Chapter 55

¹"Come, everyone who thirsts, to the waters! Come, he who has no money, buy, and eat! Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

²Why do you spend money for what is not bread? and your labor for what doesn't satisfy? listen diligently to me, and eat you what is good, and let your soul delight itself in abundance.

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.

⁴Behold, I have given him for a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander to the peoples.

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 ForeverOne your God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified you." ⁶Seek ForeverOne while he may be found; call you on him while he is near: ⁷let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to ForeverOne, and he will have mercy on him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

⁸"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," says ForeverOne.

⁹"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

¹⁰For as the rain comes down and the snow from the sky, and doesn't return there, but waters the earth, and makes it produce and bud, and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater; ¹¹so shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing I sent it to do.

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.

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 ForeverOne for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off."
