1 Ho, every one who thirsts, come you to the waters, and he who has no money; come you, buy, and eat; yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
2 Why do you spend money for that which is not bread? And your labor for that which satisfies not? Listen diligently to me, and eat you that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
3 Incline your ear, and come to me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make a Kingdom covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
4 I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.
5 you shall call a nation that you know not, and nations 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 you Jehovah while he may be found, call you upon him while he is near:
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return to Jehovah, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says Jehovah.
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 heaven, and does not return but waters the Earth and makes it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater:
11 So my word shall be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
12 For you shall go out with joy, and be led forth with completeness: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to Jehovah for a name, for a Kingdom sign that shall not be cut off.
