Isaiah 55:5-9
English Standard Version
5 (A)Behold, you shall call a nation that you do not know,
and (B)a nation that did not know you shall run to you,
because of the Lord your God, and of the Holy One of Israel,
(C)for he has glorified you.
6 (D)“Seek the Lord while he may be found;
call upon him while he is near;
7 let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion 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, declares the Lord.
9 (E)For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
