Isaiah 55

Invitation to True Rewards

1“Ho! Everyone thirsty, come to the waters!

and come, buy without money,

2Why do you weigh out money for what is not food,

Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good,

3Extend your ear, and come to me!

and I will make an everlasting covenant with you,

4Look! I made him a witness to the peoples,[#Or “gave”]

5Look! You shall call a nation that you do not know,

because of Yahweh your God,

6Seek Yahweh while he lets himself be found;[#Literally “in his letting himself be found”]

7Let the wicked forsake his way,

And let him return to Yahweh, that he may take pity on him,

8“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,

declares Yahweh.

9“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,[#Literally “high”]

10For just as the rain and the snow come down from heaven,

except they have watered the earth thoroughly

and give seed to the sower

11so shall be my word that goes out from my mouth.

but shall accomplish what I desire

12For you shall go out in joy,

The mountains and the hills shall break forth before you, rejoicing

13Instead of the thorn bush, the juniper shall go up;

and it shall serve as a memorial to Yahweh,
