Isaiah 55:4-9 Common English Bible (CEB)

4. Look, I made him a witness to the peoples,a prince and commander of peoples.

5. Look, you will call a nation you don’t know,a nation you don’t know will run to youbecause of the Lord your God,the holy one of Israel, who has glorified you.

6. Seek the Lord when he can still be found;call him while he is yet near.

7. Let the wicked abandon their waysand the sinful their schemes.Let them return to the Lord so that he may have mercy on them,to our God, because he is generous with forgiveness.

8. My plans aren’t your plans,nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord.

9. Just as the heavens are higher than the earth,so are my ways higher than your ways,and my plans than your plans.
