Isaiah 55:6-9
Legacy Standard Bible
6 (A)Seek Yahweh while He may be found;
(B)Call upon Him while He is near.
7 (C)Let the wicked forsake his way
And the unrighteous man his (D)thoughts;
And let him (E)return to Yahweh,
And He will have (F)compassion on him,
And to our God,
For He will (G)abundantly pardon.
8 “For My thoughts are not (H)your thoughts,
Nor are (I)your ways My ways,” declares Yahweh.
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.
Isaiah 55:6-9
Common English Bible
6 Seek the Lord when he can still be found;
call him while he is yet near.
7 Let the wicked abandon their ways
and the sinful their schemes.
Let them return to the Lord so that he may have mercy on them,
to our God, because he is generous with forgiveness.
8 My plans aren’t your plans,
nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord.
9 Just as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways,
and my plans than your plans.
