Isaiah 55:1-13 - Invitation To True Rewards
1
come to the waters;
and you without money,
come, buy, and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without cost!
and your wages on what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
and you will enjoy the choicest of foods.
listen, so that you will live.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
the promises assured to David.
a leader and commander for the peoples,
and nations who do not know you will run to you.
For the Lord your God,
even the Holy One of Israel,
has glorified you.”
6
call to Him while He is near.
and the sinful one his thoughts;
let him return to the Lord,
so He may have compassion on him,
and to our God, for He will freely forgive.
8
and your ways are not My ways.”
This is the Lord’s declaration.
so My ways are higher than your ways,
and My thoughts than your thoughts.
and do not return there
without saturating the earth
and making it germinate and sprout,
and providing seed to sow
and food to eat,
will not return to Me empty,
but it will accomplish what I please
and will prosper in what I send it to do.”
12
and be peacefully guided;
the mountains and the hills will break into singing before you,
and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
and instead of the brier, a myrtle will come up;
it will make a name for Yahweh
as an everlasting sign that will not be destroyed.
