Isaiah 55:1-7 Come for water, all who are thirsty, though you have no money, buy food, but without any cost. Why spend your money on what fails to satisfy? Listen to Me and you will fare well, hear Me and your soul shall live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, to love and care for you, as I did for David.
I appointed David as a witness and a leader of peoples. You, in turn will summon nations unknown to you, because the Holy one of Israel has given you power and glory.
Seek the Lord while He may be found, abandon your wicked ways and return to the Lord, your God, He will take pity and freely pardon you.
Isaiah 55:8-13 For My thoughts are not your thoughts and My ways are high above your ways. As the rain comes down from heaven, it does not return without watering the earth – so it is with My word, it will not return empty, it will succeed in the task for which it was sent.
You will go out with joy and be led forth in peace. The Land will rejoice at your coming. Good trees will grow in the place of scrub and briars. This will glorify God and be a permanent sign of His renown.
Acts 3:19-20 Repent, therefore, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out. Then the Lord may grant you a time of recovery, and send the Messiah appointed for you, that is Jesus.
