551 Ho, everyone who is thirsty, come to the waters; and you that have no money, come, buy1198 wine and milk without money and at no cost. 2 Why spend your money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy?1199 Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in rich food. 3 Incline your ear, and come to me; and1200 listen, so that you may live; and I will make1201 with you an everlasting covenant, my faithful, sure love for David. 4 See, I have made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander of the peoples. 5 See, you will call a nation that you do not know, and a nation that does not know1202 you will run1203 to you, because of the Lord your God, even1204 the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified you.

6 Seek the Lord while he1205 may be found, call upon him while he is near. 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous person his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon. 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. 9 For as1206 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 snow come down from heaven, and do not return there without watering the earth and making it bring forth and sprout, yielding seed for the sower and bread for eating,1207 11 so will my word be that goes out of my mouth; it will not return to me empty, but it will accomplish what I desire, and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

12 For you will go out in joy, and come back1208 with peace; the mountains and the hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the fields will clap their hands. 13 Instead of thorn bushes pine trees will grow, and1209 instead of briers myrtles will grow; and they1210 will be for the Lord’s sign and for an everlasting renown1211 that will not be cut down.
