““For My thoughts [are] not your thoughts, || Nor your ways My ways,” || A declaration of YHWH,”— Isaiah 55:8 (LSV)
5Behold, a nation you do not know, you call, || And a nation who does not know you runs to you, || For the sake of your God YHWH, || And for the Holy One of Israel, || Because He has beautified you.”
6Seek YHWH while He may be found, || Call Him while He is near,
7Let the wicked forsake his way, || And the man of iniquity his thoughts, || And he returns to YHWH, || And He pities him, || And to our God, || For He multiplies to pardon.
8“For My thoughts [are] not your thoughts, || Nor your ways My ways,” || A declaration of YHWH,
9“For [as] high [as] the heavens have been above the earth, || So high have been My ways above your ways, || And My thoughts above your thoughts.
10For as the shower comes down, || And the snow from the heavens, || And does not return there, || But has watered the earth, || And has caused it to yield, and to spring up, || And has given seed to the sower, and bread to the eater,
11So is My word that goes out of My mouth, || It does not return to Me empty, || But has done that which I desired, || And prosperously effected that [for] which I sent it.
