^{1 Ref} Ho! everyone in need, come to the waters, and he who has no strength, let him get food: come, get bread without money; wine and milk without price.

^{2 Ref} Why do you give your money for what is not bread, and the fruit of your work for what will not give you pleasure? Give ear to me, so that your food may be good, and you may have the best in full measure.

^{3 Ref} Give ear, and come to me, take note with care, so that your souls may have life: and I will make an eternal agreement with you, even the certain mercies of David.

^{4 Ref} See, I have given him as a witness to the peoples, a ruler and a guide to the nations.

^{5 Ref} See, you will send for a nation of which you had no knowledge, and those who had no knowledge of you will come running to you, because of the Lord your God, and because of the Holy One of Israel, for he has given you glory.

^{6 Ref} Make search for the Lord while he is there, make prayer to him while he is near:

^{7 Ref} Let the sinner give up his way, and the evil-doer his purpose: and let him come back to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him; and to our God, for there is full forgiveness with him.

^{8 Ref} For my thoughts are not your thoughts, or your ways my ways, says the Lord.

^{9 Ref} For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

^{10 Ref} For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and does not go back again, but gives water to the earth, and makes it fertile, giving seed to the planter, and bread for food;

^{11 Ref} So will my word be which goes out of my mouth: it will not come back to me with nothing done, but it will give effect to my purpose, and do that for which I have sent it.

^{12 Ref} For you will go out with joy, and be guided in peace: the mountains and the hills will make melody before you, and all the trees of the fields will make sounds of joy.

^{13 Ref} In place of the thorn will come up the fir-tree, and in place of the blackberry the myrtle: and it will be to the Lord for a name, for an eternal sign which will not be cut off.

^{1 Ref} Ho, every thirsty one, come ye to the waters, And he who hath no money, Come ye, buy and eat, yea, come, buy Without money and without price, wine and milk.

^{2 Ref} Why do ye weigh money for that which is not bread? And your labour for that which is not for satiety? Hearken diligently unto me, and eat good, And your soul doth delight itself in fatness.

^{3 Ref} Incline your ear, and come unto me, Hear, and your soul doth live, And I make for you a covenant age-during, The kind acts of David -- that are stedfast.

^{4 Ref} Lo, a witness to peoples I have given him, A leader and commander to peoples.

^{5 Ref} Lo, a nation thou knowest not, thou callest, And a nation who know thee not unto thee do run, For the sake of Jehovah thy God, And for the Holy One of Israel, Because He hath beautified thee.

^{6 Ref} Seek ye Jehovah, while He is found, Call ye Him, while He is near,

^{7 Ref} Forsake doth the wicked his way, And the man of iniquity his thoughts, And he returneth to Jehovah, and He pitieth him, And unto our God for He multiplieth to pardon.

^{8 Ref} For not My thoughts `are' your thoughts, Nor your ways My ways, -- an affirmation of Jehovah,

^{9 Ref} For high have the heavens been above the earth, So high have been My ways above your ways, And My thoughts above your thoughts.

^{10 Ref} For, as come down doth the shower, And the snow from the heavens, And thither returneth not, But hath watered the earth, And hath caused it to yield, and to spring up, And hath given seed to the sower, and bread to the eater,

^{11 Ref} So is My word that goeth out of My mouth, It turneth not back unto Me empty, But hath done that which I desired, And prosperously effected that `for' which I sent it.

^{12 Ref} For with joy ye go forth, And with peace ye are brought in, The mountains and the hills Break forth before you `with' singing, And all trees of the field clap the hand.

^{13 Ref} Instead of the thorn come up doth fir, Instead of the brier come up doth myrtle, And it hath been to Jehovah for a name, For a sign age-during -- it is not cut off!

^{1 Ref} Ho, everyone 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 Ref} Why do you spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which doesn't satisfy? listen diligently to me, and eat you that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

^{3 Ref} Turn your ear, and come to me; hear, and your soul shall live: and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

^{4 Ref} Behold, I have given him for a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander to the peoples.

^{5 Ref} Behold, you shall call a nation that you don't know; and a nation that didn't know you shall run to you, because of Yahweh your God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified you.

^{6 Ref} Seek you Yahweh while he may be found; call you on him while he is near:

^{7 Ref} let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to Yahweh, and he will have mercy on him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

^{8 Ref} For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says Yahweh.

^{9 Ref} For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

^{10 Ref} For as the rain comes down and the snow from the sky, and doesn't return there, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater;

^{11 Ref} so shall my word 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 Ref} For you 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 fields shall clap their hands.

^{13 Ref} 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 Yahweh for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
