Isaiah 55:6

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 55:6

Seek ye the Lord while he may be found - Rab. David Kimchi gives the true sense of this passage: "Seek ye the Lord, because he may be found: call upon him, because he is near. Repent before ye die, for after death there is no conversion of the soul."
