Isaiah 55:5-13
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 55
5
Behold, you will call a nation you do not know,
And a nation which does not know you will run to you,
Because of the
Lord
your God, the Holy One of Israel;
For He has glorified you.'
6
Seek the
Lord
while He may be found;
Call upon Him while He is near.
7
Let the wicked abandon his way,
And the unrighteous person his thoughts;
And let him return to the
Lord
,
And He will have compassion on him,
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.
8
'For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,' declares 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 and the snow come down from heaven,
And do not return there without watering the earth
And making it produce and sprout,
And providing seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
11
So will My word be which goes out of My mouth;
It will not return to Me empty,
Without accomplishing what I desire,
And without succeeding
in the purpose
for which I sent it.
12
For you will go out with joy
And be led in peace;
The mountains and the hills will break into shouts of joy before you,
And all the trees of the field will clap
their
hands.
13
Instead of the thorn bush, the juniper will come up,
And instead of the stinging nettle, the myrtle will come up;
And it will be a memorial to the
Lord
,
An everlasting sign which will not be eliminated.'
King James Version
Chapter 55
5
Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the
Lord
thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.
6
Seek ye the
Lord
while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the
Lord
, 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, saith 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 cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
12
For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: 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 the
Lord
for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 55
5
so you will summon a nation you do not know,
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
Seek the
Lord
while he may be found;
call to him while he is near.
7
Let the wicked one abandon his way
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
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
and your ways are not my ways." This is the
Lord
’s declaration.
9
"For as heaven is higher than earth,
so my ways are higher than your ways,
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10
For just as rain and snow fall from heaven
and do not return there
without saturating the earth
and making it germinate and sprout,
and providing seed to sow
and food to eat,
11
so my word that comes from my mouth
will not return to me empty,
but it will accomplish what I please
and will prosper in what I send it to do."
12
You will indeed go out with joy
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.
13
Instead of the thornbush, a cypress will come up,
and instead of the brier, a myrtle will come up;
this will stand as a monument for the
Lord
,
an everlasting sign that will not be destroyed.
New Living Translation
Chapter 55
5
You also will command nations you do not know,
and peoples unknown to you will come running to obey,
because I, the
Lord
your God,
the Holy One of Israel, have made you glorious.'
6
Seek the
Lord
while you can find him.
Call on him now while he is near.
7
Let the wicked change their ways
and banish the very thought of doing wrong.
Let them turn to the
Lord
that he may have mercy on them.
Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive generously.
8
'My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,' says the
Lord
.
'And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.
9
For just as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so my ways are higher than your ways
and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.
10
'The rain and snow come down from the heavens
and stay on the ground to water the earth.
They cause the grain to grow,
producing seed for the farmer
and bread for the hungry.
11
It is the same with my word.
I send it out, and it always produces fruit.
It will accomplish all I want it to,
and it will prosper everywhere I send it.
12
You will live in joy and peace.
The mountains and hills will burst into song,
and the trees of the field will clap their hands!
13
Where once there were thorns, cypress trees will grow.
Where nettles grew, myrtles will sprout up.
These events will bring great honor to the
Lord
’s name;
they will be an everlasting sign of his power and love.'
English Standard Version
Chapter 55
5
Behold, you shall call a nation that you do not know,
and a nation that did not know you shall run to you,

Lord
your God, and of the Holy One of Israel,
for he has glorified you.
6
"Seek the
Lord
while he may be found;
call upon him while he is near;
7
let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the
Lord
, that he may have compassion on him,
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8
For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares 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 and the snow come down from heaven
and do not return there but water the earth,
making it bring forth and sprout,
giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
11
so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.
12
"For you shall go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and the hills before you
shall break forth into singing,
and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13
Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress;
instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle;
and it shall make a name for the
Lord
,
an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off."
New International Version
Chapter 55

Lord
your God,
the Holy One of Israel,
for he has endowed you with splendor."

Lord
while he may be found;

neither are your ways my ways,"
declares the
Lord
.

so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10
As the rain and the snow
come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,
so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,
11
so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
12
You will go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills
will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field
will clap their hands.
13
Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper,
and instead of briers the myrtle will grow.
This will be for the
Lord
’s renown,
for an everlasting sign,
that will endure forever."
New King James Version

your ways My ways,” says the
Lord

as
the heavens are higher than the earth,

And do not return there,
But water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,

So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper
in the thing
for which I sent it.

“For you shall go out with joy,
And be led out with peace;
The mountains and the hills
Shall break forth into singing before you,
And all the trees of the field shall clap
their
hands.

Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree,
And instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree;
And it shall be to the
Lord
for a name,
For an everlasting sign
that
shall not be cut off.”
