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.”
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.
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
And do not return there,
But water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,
It shall not return to Me1 void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall bprosper in the thing for which I sent it.
| << Isaiah 55:6 | Isaiah 55:8 >> |
