Isaiah 55:6-10
English Standard Version
6 (A)“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 (B)For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 (C)“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,
(D)giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
