Ho, every one that
thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that
hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come,
buy wine and milk without money and without
price.
02 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is
not bread? and your labour for that which
satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and
eat ye that which is good, and let your soul
delight itself in fatness.
03 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and
your soul shall live; and I will make an
everlasting covenant with you, even the sure
mercies of David.
04 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the
people, a leader and commander to the people.
05 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou
knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall
run unto thee because of the Lord thy God, and
for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified
thee.
06 Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call
ye upon him while he is near:
07 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the
unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return
unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him;
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

08 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither
are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
09 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 as the rain cometh down, and the snow from
heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth
the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud,
that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to
the eater:
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my
mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it
shall accomplish that which I please, and it
shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth
with peace: the mountains and the hills shall
break forth before you into singing, and all the
trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir
tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the
myrtle tree: and it shall be to the Lord for a
name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be
cut off.
