== Yeshayahu (Book of Isaiah), Chapter 55 ==

<named id="1"/>1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye for water, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

<named id="2"/>2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your gain for that which satisfieth not? Hearken diligently unto Me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

<named id="3"/>3 Incline your ear, and come unto Me; hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

<named id="4"/>4 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the peoples, a prince and commander to the peoples.

<named id="5"/>5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and a nation that knew not thee shall run unto thee; because of HaShem thy G-d, and for the Holy One of Israel, for He hath glorified thee.

<named id="6"/>6 Seek ye HaShem while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near;

<named id="7"/>7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the man of iniquity his thoughts; and let him return unto HaShem, and He will have compassion upon him, and to our G-d, for He will abundantly pardon

<named id="8"/>8 For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith HaShem.

<named id="9"/>9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.

<named id="10"/>10 For as the rain cometh down and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, except it water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, and give seed to the sower and bread to the eater;

<named id="11"/>11 So shall My word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, except it accomplish that which I please, and make the thing whereto I sent it prosper.

<named id="12"/>12 For ye 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 field shall clap their hands.

<named id="13"/>13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle; and it shall be to HaShem for a memorial, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
