Isaiah 55:8-10
Lexham English Bible
8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
and your ways are not my ways,”
declares[a] Yahweh.
9 “For as the heavens are higher[b] than the earth,
so my ways are higher[c] than your ways,
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 For just as the rain and the snow come down from heaven,
and they do not return there
except they have watered the earth thoroughly
and cause it to bring forth and sprout,
and give seed to the sower
and bread to the eater,
