Isaías 55
Dios Habla Hoy
Ofrecimiento generoso del Señor
55 «Todos los que tengan sed, vengan a beber agua;
los que no tengan dinero, vengan,
consigan trigo de balde y coman;
consigan vino y leche sin pagar nada.
2 ¿Por qué dar dinero a cambio de lo que no es pan?
¿Por qué dar su salario por algo que no deja satisfecho?
Óiganme bien y comerán buenos alimentos,
comerán cosas deliciosas.
3 Vengan a mí y pongan atención,
escúchenme y vivirán.
Yo haré con ustedes una alianza eterna,
cumpliendo así las promesas que por amor hice a David.
4 Yo lo puse a él como testigo para las naciones,
como jefe e instructor de los pueblos.
5 Tú llamarás a pueblos desconocidos;
pueblos que no te conocían irán corriendo a ti,
porque yo, tu Señor, el Dios Santo de Israel,
te he honrado.
6 »Busquen al Señor mientras puedan encontrarlo,
llámenlo mientras está cerca.
7 Que el malvado deje su camino,
que el perverso deje sus ideas;
vuélvanse al Señor, y él tendrá compasión de ustedes;
vuélvanse a nuestro Dios, que es generoso para perdonar.
8-9 Porque mis ideas no son como las de ustedes,
y mi manera de actuar no es como la suya.
Así como el cielo está por encima de la tierra,
así también mis ideas y mi manera de actuar
están por encima de las de ustedes.»
El Señor lo afirma.
10 «Así como la lluvia y la nieve bajan del cielo,
y no vuelven allá, sino que empapan la tierra,
la fecundan y la hacen germinar,
y producen la semilla para sembrar
y el pan para comer,
11 así también la palabra que sale de mis labios
no vuelve a mí sin producir efecto,
sino que hace lo que yo quiero
y cumple la orden que le doy.
12 »Ustedes saldrán de allí con alegría,
volverán a su país con paz.
Al verlos, los montes y las colinas
estallarán en cantos de alegría
y todos los árboles del campo aplaudirán.
13 En vez de zarzas crecerán pinos,
en vez de ortigas crecerán arrayanes;
esto hará glorioso el nombre del Señor;
será una señal eterna, indestructible.»
Isaiah 55
New King James Version
An Invitation to Abundant Life
55 “Ho! (A)Everyone who thirsts,
Come to the waters;
And you who have no money,
(B)Come, buy and eat.
Yes, come, buy wine and milk
Without money and without price.
2 Why do you [a]spend money for what is not bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
And let your soul delight itself in abundance.
3 Incline your ear, and (C)come to Me.
Hear, and your soul shall live;
(D)And I will make an everlasting covenant with you—
The (E)sure mercies of David.
4 Indeed I have given him as (F)a witness to the people,
(G)A leader and commander for the people.
5 (H)Surely you shall call a nation you do not know,
(I)And nations who do not know you shall run to you,
Because of the Lord your God,
And the Holy One of Israel;
(J)For He has glorified you.”
6 (K)Seek the Lord while He may be (L)found,
Call upon Him while He is near.
7 (M)Let the [b]wicked forsake his way,
And the unrighteous man (N)his thoughts;
Let him return to the Lord,
(O)And He will have mercy on him;
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.
8 “For(P) My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
9 “For(Q) as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
10 “For (R)as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
And do not return there,
But water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,
11 (S)So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me [c]void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall (T)prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
12 “For(U) you shall go out with joy,
And be led out with peace;
The mountains and the hills
Shall (V)break forth into singing before you,
And (W)all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13 (X)Instead of (Y)the thorn shall come up the cypress tree,
And instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree;
And it shall be to the Lord (Z)for a name,
For an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”

English Standard Version
The Compassion of the Lord
55 (A)“Come, everyone who thirsts,
come to the waters;
and he who has no money,
(B)come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without price.
2 (C)Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread,
and your labor for that which does not satisfy?
Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good,
and delight yourselves in rich food.
3 Incline your ear, and come to me;
(D)hear, that your soul may live;
(E)and I will make with you an everlasting covenant,
(F)my steadfast, sure love for (G)David.
4 (H)Behold, I made him a witness to the peoples,
(I)a leader and commander for the peoples.
5 (J)Behold, you shall call a nation that you do not know,
and (K)a nation that did not know you shall run to you,
because of the Lord your God, and of the Holy One of Israel,
(L)for he has glorified you.
6 (M)“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 (N)For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 (O)“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven
and do not return there but water the earth,
making it bring forth and sprout,
(P)giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
11 so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but (Q)it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.
12 (R)“For you shall go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
(S)the mountains and the hills before you
shall break forth into singing,
and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13 (T)Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress;
instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle;
and it shall make a name for the Lord,
an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”
