Isaiah 55:7

Invitation To True Rewards

⁶ Seek the LORD while he may be found; call upon him while he is near: ⁷ Let the wicked forsake his way
And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
And let him return to the Lord,
And He will have compassion on him,
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.
⁸ For my thoughts are not as your thoughts, neither are your ways as my ways, saith the LORD.
