Invitation to True Rewards
55 “Ho! Everyone thirsty, come to the waters!
And whoever has no money, come, buy and eat,
and come, buy without money,
wine and milk without price!
2 Why do you weigh out money for what is not food,
and your labor for what cannot satisfy?[a]
Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good,
and let your soul take pleasure in rich[b] food.
3 Extend your ear, and come to me!
Listen so that[c] your soul may live,
and I will make[d] an everlasting covenant with[e] you,
the enduring proofs of the mercies shown to[f] David.
4 Look! I made[g] him a witness to the peoples,
a leader and a commander for the peoples.
5 Look! You shall call a nation that you do not know,
and a nation that does not know you shall run to you,
because of Yahweh your God,
and the holy one of Israel, for he has glorified you.”
6 Seek Yahweh while he lets himself be found;[h]
call him while he is[i] near.
7 Let the wicked forsake his way,
and the man of sin his thoughts.
And let him return to Yahweh, that[j] he may take pity on him,
and to our God, for he will forgive manifold.[k]
8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
and your ways are not my ways,”
declares[l] Yahweh.
9 “For as the heavens are higher[m] than the earth,
so my ways are higher[n] 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,
11 so shall be my word that goes out from my mouth.
It shall not return to me without success,
but shall accomplish[o] what I desire
and be successful in the thing for which I sent it.
12 For you shall go out in joy,
and you shall be led in peace.
The mountains and the hills shall break forth before you, rejoicing
and all the trees of the field shall clap hands.[p]
13 Instead of the thorn bush, the juniper shall go up;
instead of the brier, the myrtle shall go up,
and it shall serve as a memorial to Yahweh,
for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”

神白白的恩惠
55 唉！口渴的人哪！你們都就近水來吧。
沒有銀錢的，你們也要來，買了就吃。
你們要來，買酒和奶，
不用銀子，也不用付代價。
2 你們為甚麼用銀子去買那不是食物的呢？
為甚麼用你們勞碌得來的去買那不能使人飽足的呢？
你們要留心聽我的話，就可以吃美物，
使你們的心靈享受肥甘。
3 你們要側耳而聽，要到我這裡來；
你們要聽，就可以存活；
我必與你們立永遠的約，
就是應許賜給大衛的那確實的慈愛。
4 看哪！我已經立了他作萬族的見證人，
為萬族的首領和司令。
5 看哪！你要召聚你不認識的國；
那些素來不認識你的國也必奔向你，
都因耶和華你的 神、以色列的聖者的緣故，
因為他已經榮耀了你。
神言出必行
6 你們要趁著耶和華可以尋找的時候，尋找他，
趁著他靠近的時候，呼求他。
7 惡人要離棄自己的道路，
不義的人當除去自己的意念，
回轉過來歸向耶和華，
耶和華就必憐憫他。
你們當回轉過來歸向我們的 神，
因為他大大赦免人的罪。
8 耶和華說：“我的意念不是你們的意念，
你們的道路也不是我的道路。
9 天怎樣高過地，
我的道路也怎樣高過你們的道路，
我的意念也怎樣高過你們的意念。
10 雨雪怎樣從天上降下來，
不再返回天上，卻灌溉大地，
使地上的植物發芽結實，
使撒種的有種子，吃的人有糧食；
11 從我的口所出的話也必這樣，
必不徒然返回我這裡，
卻要作成我所喜悅的，
使它在我差遣它去作的事上必然亨通。
12 你們必歡歡喜喜出來，
平平安安蒙引導；
大山小山都必在你們面前發聲歡呼，
田野所有的樹木也都拍掌。
13 松樹要長起來代替荊棘，
番石榴要長起來代替蒺藜。
這要為耶和華留名，
作永遠不能廢掉的記號。”

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)
2 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.
3 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)
4 See, I have made him a witness(N) to the peoples,
a ruler and commander(O) of the peoples.
5 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)
6 Seek(T) the Lord while he may be found;(U)
call(V) on him while he is near.
7 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)
8 “For my thoughts(AB) are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”(AC)
declares the Lord.
9 “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.”
