Isaiah 55

1 Alas! O every thirsty [one] come to the waters and [one] who not [belongs] to him money come buy grain and eat and come buy grain with not money and with not price wine and milk.

Ho! every one that thirsteth! Come ye to the waters, Yea he that hath no money, —Come ye—buy corn, and eat, Yea come—buy corn without money, And without price, wine and milk,

2 Why? do you weigh out money for not bread and toil your for not to satiety listen steadfastly to me and eat good thing[s] so it may take delight in fatness appetite your.

Wherefore should ye spend, Money, for that which is not bread? Or your labour, for that which, satisfieth not? Keep on hearkening unto me, And, so eat that which is good, And let your soul take exquisite delight in fatness:

3 Incline ear your and come to me listen so may it live self your and I will make to you a covenant of perpetuity [the] covenant loyalti of David reliable.

Incline your ear, and come unto me, Hearken, That your soul, may live, —That I may solemnise for you a covenant age-abiding, The Lovingkindness to David, well-assured.

4 Here! a witness of peoples I made him a leader and a commander of peoples.

Lo! As a witness to the peoples, have I given him, —As a leader and commander to the peoples:

5 There! a nation [which] not you know you will call and a nation [which] not they have known you to you they will run on account of Yahweh God your and to [the] holy [one] of Israel for he has glorified you.

Lo! A nation thou shalt not know, shalt thou call, And, a nation which hath not known thee, unto thee, shall run, —For the sake of Yahweh thy God, And for the Holy One of Israel, because he hath adorned thee.

6 Seek Yahweh when he lets be found himself call on him when is he near.

Seek Yahweh while he may be found, —Call ye upon him while he is near:

7 Let him forsake a wicked [person] way his and a person of wickedness thoughts his and let him return to Yahweh so he may have compassion on him and to God our for he will increase to forgive.

Let the lawless forsake his way, And the man of iniquity, his thoughts, —And let him return unto Yahweh That he may have compassion upon him, And unto our God, For he will abundantly pardon.

8 For not thoughts my [are] thoughts your and not [are] ways your ways my [the] utterance of Yahweh.

For, my thoughts, are not, your thoughts, Nor, your ways, my ways, —Declareth Yahweh.

9 For they are high [the] heavens more than [the] earth so they are high ways my more than ways your and thoughts my more than thoughts your.

For, higher, are the heavens than the earth, —So, higher, are My ways than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.

10 For just as it comes down the rain and the snow from the heavens and there towards not it returns that except it has given water to the earth and it has caused to bring forth it and it has made sprout it and it has given seed to the sower and bread to the eater.

For, as the rain and the snow descend from the heavens. And thither, do not return, Except they have watered the earth. And caused it to bring forth and bud, —And given seed to the sower, and bread to the eater,

11 Thus it is word my which it goes forth from mouth my not it will return to me in vain that except it has done [that] which I desired and it has prospered [that] which I sent it.

So, shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth, It shall not return unto me void, —But shall accomplish that which I please, And shall prosper in that whereunto I have sent it.

12 For in joy you will go out and in peace you will be led! the mountains and the hills they will break forth before you a shout of joy and all [the] trees of the field they will clap a palm.

For with gladness shall ye come forth, And in peace, shall ye be led, —the mountains and the hills shall break out, before you, into shouts of triumph, And all the wild trees shall clap their hands:

13 In place of the thornbush it will grow up a cypress (and in place of *Q(K)*) the nettle it will grow up a myrtle tree and it will become for Yahweh a name a sign of perpetuity [which] not it will be cut down.

Instead of the thorn-bush, shall come up the fir-tree, And instead of the nettle, shall come up the myrtle-tree, —So shall it become unto Yahweh, a Name, A Sign age-abiding, which shall not be cut off.
