ASV_Strong : Isaiah 55
1. Ho[H1945], every one that thirsteth[H6771], come[H3212] ye to the waters[H4325], and he that hath no money[H3701]; come[H3212] ye[H7666], buy, and eat[H398]; yea[H3212], come, buy[H7666] wine[H3196] and milk[H2461] without money[H3701] and without price[H4242].
2. Wherefore do ye spend[H8254] money[H3701] for that which is not bread[H3899]? and your labor[H3018] for that which satisfieth[H7654] not[H3808]? hearken[H8085] diligently[H8085] unto me[H398], and eat ye that which is good[H2896], and let your soul[H5315] delight[H6026] itself in fatness[H1880].
3. Incline[H5186] your ear[H241], and come[H3212] unto me[H8085]; hear, and your soul[H5315] shall live[H2421]: and I will make[H3772] an everlasting[H5769] covenant[H1285] with you[H539], even the sure mercies[H2617] of David[H1732].
4. Behold[H5414], I have given him for a witness[H5707] to the peoples[H3816], a leader[H5057] and commander[H6680] to the peoples[H3816].
5. Behold[H7121], thou shalt call a nation[H1471] that thou knowest[H3045] not[H1471]; and a nation that knew[H3045] not thee shall run[H7323] unto thee[H3068], because of Jehovah thy God[H430], and for the Holy One[H6918] of Israel[H3478]; for he hath glorified thee[H6286].
6. Seek[H1875] ye Jehovah[H3068] while he may be found[H4672]; call[H7121] ye upon him while he is near[H7138]:
7. let the wicked[H7563] forsake[H5800] his way[H1870], and the unrighteous[H205] man[H376] his thoughts[H4284]; and let him return[H7725] unto Jehovah[H3068], and he will have mercy[H7355] upon him[H430]; and to our God, for he will abundantly[H7235] pardon[H5545].
8. For my thoughts[H4284] are not your thoughts[H4284], neither are your ways[H1870] my ways[H1870], saith[H5002] Jehovah[H3068].
9. For as the heavens[H8064] are higher[H1361] than the earth[H776], so are my ways[H1870] higher[H1361] than your ways[H1870], and my thoughts[H4284] than your thoughts[H4284].
10. For as the rain[H1653] cometh down[H3381] and the snow[H7950] from heaven[H8064], and returneth[H7725] not thither[H7301], but watereth the earth[H776], and maketh it bring forth[H3205] and bud[H6779], and giveth[H5414] seed[H2233] to the sower[H2232] and bread[H3899] to the eater[H398];
11. so shall my word[H1697] be that goeth forth[H3318] out of my mouth[H6310]: it shall not return[H7725] unto me void[H7387], but it shall accomplish[H6213] that which I please[H2654], and it shall prosper[H6743] in the thing whereto I sent it[H7971].
12. For ye shall go out[H3318] with joy[H8057], and be led forth[H2986] with peace[H7965]: the mountains[H2022] and the hills[H1389] shall break forth[H6476] before[H6440] you into singing[H7440]; and all the trees[H6086] of the fields[H7704] shall clap[H4222] their hands[H3709].
13. Instead of the thorn[H5285] shall come up[H5927] the fir-tree[H1265]; and instead of the brier[H5636] shall come up[H5927] the myrtle-tree[H1918]: and it shall be to Jehovah[H3068] for a name[H8034], for an everlasting[H5769] sign[H226] that shall not be cut off[H3772].
