Isaiah 55:6-9
New American Standard Bible
6 (A)Seek the Lord while He may be found;
(B)Call upon Him while He is near.
7 (C)Let the wicked abandon his way,
And the unrighteous person his (D)thoughts;
And let him (E)return to the Lord,
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 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.
Isaiah 55:6-9
Holman 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.
