1Ho,
every one
that
thirsteth,
come ye to
the waters,
and he that
hath no
money; come
ye, buy, and
eat; yea,
come, buy
wine and
milk without
money and
without
price.
2Wherefore
do ye spend
money for that
which is not
bread? and
your labour
for that
which satisfieth
not? hearken
diligently
unto me, and
eat ye that
which is good,
and let your
soul delight
itself in
fatness.
3Incline
your ear,
and come
unto 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 people,
a leader and
commander to
the people.
5Behold,
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.
6Seek
ye the LORD
while he may
be found,
call ye upon
him while he
is near:
7Let
the wicked
forsake his
way, and the
unrighteous
man his
thoughts:
and let him
return unto
the LORD,
and he will
have mercy
upon him;
and to our
God, for he
will
abundantly
pardon.
8For
my thoughts are not
your
thoughts,
neither are your
ways my
ways, saith
the LORD.
9For 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
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:
11So
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 it.
12For
ye 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
field 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 the
LORD for a
name, for an
everlasting
sign that shall
not be cut
off.
