1 Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who [has] no money, come, buy and eat. Yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

2 Why do you weigh silver for [what is] not bread? and your labor for [what] never satisfies? Listen carefully to Me, and eat [what is] good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

3 Bow down your ear, and come to Me; hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

4 Behold, I have given Him [for] a witness to the people, a Leader and Commander of peoples.

5 Behold, You shall call a nation that You do not know; a nation [that] did not know You shall run to You because of Jehovah Your God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for He has glorified You.

6 Seek the LORD while He may be found; call on 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 mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.

8 For My thoughts [are] not your thoughts, nor your ways My ways, says the LORD.

9 For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.

10 For as the rain comes down, and the snow from the heavens, and does not return there, but waters the earth, and makes it bring out and bud, and give seed to the sower and bread to the eater;

11 so shall My Word be, which goes out of My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall certainly do what I sent it to do.

12 For you shall go out with joy, and be led out with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break out before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap [their] hands.

13 Instead of the thorn, the fir tree shall come up; and instead of the brier, the myrtle tree shall come up; and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign [which] shall not be cut off.
