Isaiah 55:5

Isaiah 55:5

3 Incline your ear, and ^acome to Me.
Hear, and your soul shall live;
^bAnd I will make an everlasting covenant with you—
The ^csure mercies of David.

4 Indeed I have given him as ^aa witness to the people,
^bA leader and commander for the people.

5 ^aSurely you shall call a nation you do not know,
^bAnd nations who do not know you shall run to you,
Because of the Lord your God,
And the Holy One of Israel;
^cFor He has glorified you.”

6 ^aSeek the Lord while He may be ^bfound,
Call upon Him while He is near.

7 ^aLet the¹ wicked forsake his way,
And the unrighteous man ^bhis thoughts;
Let him return to the Lord,
^cAnd He will have mercy on him;
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.

8 “For^a My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.

9 “For^a as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.

<< Isaiah 55:4

Isaiah 55:6 >>

Thou - Thou, O Messiah. Call - To the knowledge of thyself. Knewest not - With that special knowledge which implies approbation. Because - Because the Lord shall by many tokens, manifest himself to be thy God, and thee to be his son and faithful servant. Glorify thee - By confirming thy word with illustrious signs and miracles, and particularly by thy resurrection, and glorious ascension.
