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. ‡

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. ‡
