The Free Offer of Mercy

1
“Ho! Every one who (A)thirsts, come to the waters;
And you who have (B)no (a)money come, buy and eat.
Come, buy (C)wine and milk
(D)Without money and without cost.
Tools
2
“Why do you (b)spend money for what is (E)not bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and (F)eat what is good,
And (G)delight yourself in abundance.
Tools
3
“(H)Incline your ear and come to Me.
Listen, that (c)you may (I)live;
And I will make (J)an everlasting covenant with you,
According to the (K)faithful mercies (d)shown to David.

“Behold, I have made (L)him a witness to the peoples,
A (M)leader and commander for the peoples.
Tools
5
“Behold, you will call a (N)nation you do not know,
And a nation which knows you not will (O)run to you,
Because of the Lord your God, even the Holy One of Israel;
For He has (P)glorified you.”
Tools
6
(Q)Seek the Lord while He may be found;
(R)Call upon Him while He is near.
Tools
7
(S)Let the wicked forsake his way
And the unrighteous man his (T)thoughts;
And let him (U)return to the Lord,
And He will have (V)compassion on him,
And to our God,
For He will (W)abundantly pardon.

8
“For My thoughts are not (X)your thoughts,
Nor are (Y)your ways My ways,” declares the Lord.
Tools
9
“For (Z)as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
Tools
10
“For as the (AA)rain and the snow come down from heaven,
And do not return there without watering the earth
And making it bear and sprout,
And furnishing (AB)seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
Tools
11
So will My (AC)word be which goes forth from My mouth;
It will (AD)not return to Me empty,
Without (AE)accomplishing what I desire,
And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.
Tools
12
“For you will go out with (AF)joy
And be led forth with (AG)peace;
The (AH)mountains and the hills will break forth into shouts of joy before you,
And all the (AI)trees of the field will clap their hands.
Tools
13
“Instead of the (AJ)thorn bush the (AK)cypress will come up,
And instead of the (AL)nettle the myrtle will come up,
And (e)it will be a (f)(AM)memorial to the Lord,
For an everlasting (AN)sign which (AO)will not be cut off.”
