and you who have no money,
come, buy, and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without cost.
2 Why do you spend money on what is not bread,
and your wages on what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
and let your soul delight in the choicest of foods.
3 Incline your ear, and come to Me;
hear, and your soul will live.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
the promise of faithful love assured to David.
4 Behold, I have given him as a witness to the peoples,
a leader and commander to the peoples.
5 Behold, you will summon nations you do not know,
and nations you do not know will run to you,
because of the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel,
for He has glorified you.”
6 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 turn to the Lord, and He will have mercy 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,”
says the Lord.
9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are My ways higher than your ways,
and My thoughts than your thoughts.
10 For just as rain and snow
come down from the heavens,
and do not return there
without watering the earth,
making it bud and flourish,
so it yields seed for the sower,
and bread to the eater,
11 so will My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
it will not return to Me empty,
but it will accomplish what I please,
and prosper in the purpose that I sent it for.
12“For you will go out in joy,
and be led forth with peace;
the mountains and the hills
shall burst into singing before you, 🎼 ♪ ♫ ♪ ♬
and all the trees of the field
will clap their hands. 🎶 ♬ ♪
13 Instead of the thornbush, a cypress tree will grow,
and instead of the brier, a myrtle tree will come up.
It will be to the Lord for His renown;
for an everlasting sign,
that will never perish.”
