1Ho <01945>_, every one that thirsteth <06771>_, come <03212> (8798) ye to the waters <04325>_, and he that hath no money <03701>_; come <03212> (8798) ye, buy <07666> (8798)_, and eat <0398> (8798)_; yea, come <03212> (8798)_, buy <07666> (8798) wine <03196> and milk <02461> without money <03701> and without price <04242>_.
2Wherefore do ye spend <08254> (8799) money <03701> for [that which is] not bread <03899>_? and your labour <03018> for [that which] satisfieth <07654> not <03808>_? hearken <08085> (8798) diligently <08085> (8800) unto me, and eat <0398> (8798) ye [that which is] good <02896>_, and let your soul <05315> delight <06026> (8691) itself in fatness <01880>_. {spend: Heb. weigh}
3Incline <05186> (8685) your ear <0241>_, and come <03212> (8798) unto me: hear <08085> (8798)_, and your soul <05315> shall live <02421> (8799)_; and I will make <03772> (8799) an everlasting <05769> covenant <01285> with you, [even] the sure <0539> (8737) mercies <02617> of David <01732>_.
4Behold, I have given <05414> (8804) him [for] a witness <05707> to the people <03816>_, a leader <05057> and commander <06680> (8764) to the people <03816>_.
5Behold, thou shalt call <07121> (8799) a nation <01471> [that] thou knowest <03045> (8799) not, and nations <01471> [that] knew <03045> (8804) not thee shall run <07323> (8799) unto thee because of the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>_, and for the Holy One <06918> of Israel <03478>_; for he hath glorified <06286> (8765) thee.
6Seek <01875> (8798) ye the LORD <03068> while he may be found <04672> (8736)_, call <07121> (8798) ye upon him while he is near <07138>_:
7Let the wicked <07563> forsake <05800> (8799) his way <01870>_, and the unrighteous <0205> man <0376> his thoughts <04284>_: and let him return <07725> (8799) unto the LORD <03068>_, and he will have mercy <07355> (8762) upon him; and to our God <0430>_, for he will abundantly <07235> (8686) pardon <05545> (8800)_. {the unrighteous...: Heb. the man of iniquity} {abundantly...: Heb. multiply to pardon}
8For my thoughts <04284> [are] not your thoughts <04284>_, neither [are] your ways <01870> my ways <01870>_, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>_.
9For [as] the heavens <08064> are higher <01361> (8804) than the earth <0776>_, so are my ways <01870> higher <01361> (8804) than your ways <01870>_, and my thoughts <04284> than your thoughts <04284>_.
10For as the rain <01653> cometh down <03381> (8799)_, and the snow <07950> from heaven <08064>_, and returneth <07725> (8799) not thither, but watereth <07301> (8689) the earth <0776>_, and maketh it bring forth <03205> (8689) and bud <06779> (8689)_, that it may give <05414> (8804) seed <02233> to the sower <02232> (8802)_, and bread <03899> to the eater <0398> (8802)_:
11So shall my word <01697> be that goeth forth <03318> (8799) out of my mouth <06310>_: it shall not return <07725> (8799) unto me void <07387>_, but it shall accomplish <06213> (8804) that which I please <02654> (8804)_, and it shall prosper <06743> (8689) [in the thing] whereto I sent <07971> (8804) it.
12For ye shall go out <03318> (8799) with joy <08057>_, and be led forth <02986> (8714) with peace <07965>_: the mountains <02022> and the hills <01389> shall break forth <06476> (8799) before <06440> you into singing <07440>_, and all the trees <06086> of the field <07704> shall clap <04222> (8799) [their] hands <03709>_.
13Instead of the thorn <05285> shall come up <05927> (8799) the fir tree <01265>_, and instead of the brier <05636> shall come up <05927> (8799) the myrtle tree <01918>_: and it shall be to the LORD <03068> for a name <08034>_, for an everlasting <05769> sign <0226> [that] shall not be cut off <03772> (8735)_.
