하나님께서 참으로 배부르게 먹을 음식을 주신다

55 주께서 말씀하신다.
“목마른 자들아, 모두 물가로 오너라.
돈 없는 자들아, 와서 사 먹어라.
돈도 내지 말고, 값도 치르지 말고 포도주와 우유를 마셔라.
어째서 너희는 양식을 얻지도 못하면서 돈을 내고
애써 번 돈을 배부르지도 않을 것에 써버리느냐?
내 말을 잘 들어라.
그러면 너희가 좋은 것을 먹고
맛있는 음식을 푸짐하게 먹으리라.
잘 들어라.
내게로 와서 내 말을 들어라.
그러면 네가 살리라.
내가 다윗에게 확실한 자비의 약속을 했듯이
너와 영원한 언약을 맺으리라.
보라.
나는 그를 뭇 민족들에게 보일 내 능력의 증인으로 세웠으며
뭇 민족들을 다스리고 명령하는 자로 세웠다.
보라.
네가 알지 못하는 뭇 나라들을 부르면
네가 모르는 그 민족들이 네게로 달려오리라.
이는 주 너의 하나님 이스라엘의 거룩하신 분께서
너를 영광스럽게 하셨기 때문이다.”

너희는 주님을 만날 수 있을 때 그분을 찾고
그분이 가까이 계실 때 그분을 불러라.
악한 자들은 악한 길을 버리고
불의한 자들은 못된 생각을 버려라.
그리고 주님께 돌아오라.
주께서 자비를 베푸시리라.
우리 하나님께 돌아오라.
주께서 너그럽게 용서하시리라.

사람들은 하나님을 이해 못한다

주께서 말씀하신다.
“내 생각은 너희 생각과 다르고
너희의 길은 내 길과 다르다.
하늘이 땅에서 아득히 높듯
내 길은 너희의 길보다 높으며
내 생각은 너희의 생각보다 높다.
10 비와 눈은 하늘에서 내려와 하늘로 그냥 돌아가는 법이 없다.
땅을 흠뻑 적셔주어
싹이 돋아 열매를 맺게 하며
씨 뿌린 사람에게 씨앗과 양식을 내준다.
11 내 입에서 나오는 말도 그와 같아서
일을 이루지 않고 그냥 내게로 돌아오지 않으리라.
내 말은 내 계획을 이루고
내가 세운 목적을 이루리라.
12 너희는 즐겁게 밖으로 나아가
안내를 받으며 평화롭게 돌아가리라.
산과 언덕이 너희를 맞아 기쁨으로 노래를 부르고
들판의 모든 나무들이 손뼉을 쳐주리라.
13 가시나무가 섰던 자리에 삼나무가 자라고
찔레나무가 있던 곳에 도금양[a]이 자랄 것이다.
모든 것이 주님의 이름을 기리는 기념이 되고
사라지지 않을 영원한 증거가 되리라.”

The Free Offer of Mercy

55 “Ho! Every one who (A)thirsts, come to the waters;
And you who have (B)no [a]money come, buy and eat.
Come, buy (C)wine and milk
(D)Without money and without cost.
“Why do you [b]spend money for what is (E)not bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and (F)eat what is good,
And (G)delight yourself in abundance.
(H)Incline your ear and come to Me.
Listen, that [c]you may (I)live;
And I will make (J)an everlasting covenant with you,
According to the (K)faithful mercies [d]shown to David.
“Behold, I have made (L)him a witness to the peoples,
A (M)leader and commander for the peoples.
“Behold, you will call a (N)nation you do not know,
And a nation which knows you not will (O)run to you,
Because of the Lord your God, even the Holy One of Israel;
For He has (P)glorified you.”

(Q)Seek the Lord while He may be found;
(R)Call upon Him while He is near.
(S)Let the wicked forsake his way
And the unrighteous man his (T)thoughts;
And let him (U)return to the Lord,
And He will have (V)compassion on him,
And to our God,
For He will (W)abundantly pardon.
“For My thoughts are not (X)your thoughts,
Nor are (Y)your ways My ways,” declares the Lord.
“For (Z)as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
10 “For as the (AA)rain and the snow come down from heaven,
And do not return there without watering the earth
And making it bear and sprout,
And furnishing (AB)seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
11 So will My (AC)word be which goes forth from My mouth;
It will (AD)not return to Me empty,
Without (AE)accomplishing what I desire,
And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.
12 “For you will go out with (AF)joy
And be led forth with (AG)peace;
The (AH)mountains and the hills will break forth into shouts of joy before you,
And all the (AI)trees of the field will clap their hands.
13 “Instead of the (AJ)thorn bush the (AK)cypress will come up,
And instead of the (AL)nettle the myrtle will come up,
And [e]it will be a [f](AM)memorial to the Lord,
For an everlasting (AN)sign which (AO)will not be cut off.”

Invitation to the Thirsty

55 “Come, all you who are thirsty,(A)
    come to the waters;(B)
and you who have no money,
    come, buy(C) and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk(D)
    without money and without cost.(E)
Why spend money on what is not bread,
    and your labor on what does not satisfy?(F)
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,(G)
    and you will delight in the richest(H) of fare.
Give ear and come to me;
    listen,(I) that you may live.(J)
I will make an everlasting covenant(K) with you,
    my faithful love(L) promised to David.(M)
See, I have made him a witness(N) to the peoples,
    a ruler and commander(O) of the peoples.
Surely you will summon nations(P) you know not,
    and nations you do not know will come running to you,(Q)
because of the Lord your God,
    the Holy One(R) of Israel,
    for he has endowed you with splendor.”(S)

Seek(T) the Lord while he may be found;(U)
    call(V) on him while he is near.
Let the wicked forsake(W) their ways
    and the unrighteous their thoughts.(X)
Let them turn(Y) to the Lord, and he will have mercy(Z) on them,
    and to our God, for he will freely pardon.(AA)

“For my thoughts(AB) are not your thoughts,
    neither are your ways my ways,”(AC)
declares the Lord.
“As the heavens are higher than the earth,(AD)
    so are my ways higher than your ways
    and my thoughts than your thoughts.(AE)
10 As the rain(AF) and the snow
    come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
    without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,(AG)
    so that it yields seed(AH) for the sower and bread for the eater,(AI)
11 so is my word(AJ) that goes out from my mouth:
    It will not return to me empty,(AK)
but will accomplish what I desire
    and achieve the purpose(AL) for which I sent it.
12 You will go out in joy(AM)
    and be led forth in peace;(AN)
the mountains and hills
    will burst into song(AO) before you,
and all the trees(AP) of the field
    will clap their hands.(AQ)
13 Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper,
    and instead of briers(AR) the myrtle(AS) will grow.
This will be for the Lord’s renown,(AT)
    for an everlasting sign,
    that will endure forever.”

55 Ho, 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.

Wherefore 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.

Incline 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.

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

Behold, 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.

Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

Let 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.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

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

10 For 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:

11 So 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.

12 For 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.

13 Instead 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.
