Isaiah 55:5-9
New King James Version
5 (A)Surely you shall call a nation you do not know,
(B)And nations who do not know you shall run to you,
Because of the Lord your God,
And the Holy One of Israel;
(C)For He has glorified you.”
6 (D)Seek the Lord while He may be (E)found,
Call upon Him while He is near.
7 (F)Let the [a]wicked forsake his way,
And the unrighteous man (G)his thoughts;
Let him return to the Lord,
(H)And He will have mercy on him;
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.
8 “For(I) My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
9 “For(J) as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
