Isaiah 55:6-9
Christian Standard Bible
6 Seek the Lord while he may be found;
call to him while he is near.(A)
7 Let the wicked one abandon his way
and the sinful one his thoughts;(B)
let him return to the Lord,
so he may have compassion on him,
and to our God, for he will freely forgive.(C)
8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
and your ways are not my ways.”
This is the Lord’s declaration.
9 “For as heaven is higher than earth,(D)
so my ways are higher than your ways,
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55:6-9
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.
