Isaiah 55 (WEBP)

[1] “Hey! Come, everyone who thirsts, to the waters! Come, he who has no money, buy, and eat! Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
[2] 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 that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in richness.
[3] Turn your ear, and come to me. Hear, and your soul will live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
[4] Behold, I have given him for a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander to the peoples.
[5] 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] Seek Yahweh while he may be found. Call on him while he is near.
[7] Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts. Let him return to Yahweh, and he will have mercy on him, to our God, for he will freely pardon.
[8] “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways,” says Yahweh.
[9] “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
[10] For as the rain comes down and the snow from the sky, and doesn’t return there, but waters the earth, and makes it grow and bud, and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
[11] so is my word that goes out of my mouth: it will not return to me void, but it will accomplish that which I please, and it will prosper in the thing I sent it to do.
[12] For you shall go out with joy, and be led out with peace. The mountains and the hills will break out before you into singing; and all the trees of the fields will clap their hands.
[13] Instead of the thorn the cypress tree will come up; and instead of the brier the myrtle tree will come up. It will make a name for Yahweh, for an everlasting sign that will not be cut off.”

Isaiah 55 (BYZ)

[1] οι διψωντες πορευεσθε εφ υδωρ και οσοι μη εχετε αργυριον βαδισαντες αγορασατε και πιετε ανευ αργυριου και τιμης οινου και στεαρ
[2] ινα τι τιμασθε αργυριου και τον μοχθον υμων ουκ εις πλησμονην ακουσατε μου και φαγεσθε αγαθα και εντρυφησει εν αγαθοις η ψυχη υμων
[3] προσεχετε τοις ωτιοις υμων και επακολουθησατε ταις οδοις μου επακουσατε μου και ζησεται εν αγαθοις η ψυχη υμων και διαθησομαι υμιν διαθηκην αιωνιον τα οσια δαυιδ τα πιστα
[4] ιδου μαρτυριον εν εθνεσιν δεδωκα αυτον αρχοντα και προστασσοντα εθνεσιν
[5] εθνη α ουκ ηδεισαν σε επικαλεσονται σε και λαοι οι ουκ επιστανται σε επι σε καταφευξονται ενεκεν του θεου σου του αγιου ισραηλ οτι εδοξασεν σε
[6] ζητησατε τον θεον και εν τω ευρισκειν αυτον επικαλεσασθε ηνικα δ αν εγγιζη υμιν
[7] απολιπετω ο ασεβης τας οδους αυτου και ανηρ ανομος τας βουλας αυτου και επιστραφητω επι κυριον και ελεηθησεται οτι επι πολυ αφησει τας αμαρτιας υμων
[8] ου γαρ εισιν αι βουλαι μου ωσπερ αι βουλαι υμων ουδε ωσπερ αι οδοι υμων αι οδοι μου λεγει κυριος
[9] αλλ ως απεχει ο ουρανος απο της γης ουτως απεχει η οδος μου απο των οδων υμων και τα διανοηματα υμων απο της διανοιας μου
[10] ως γαρ εαν καταβη υετος η χιων εκ του ουρανου και ου μη αποστραφη εως αν μεθυση την γην και εκτεκη και εκβλαστηση και δω σπερμα τω σπειροντι και αρτον εις βρωσιν
[11] ουτως εσται το ρημα μου ο εαν εξελθη εκ του στοματος μου ου μη αποστραφη εως αν συντελεσθη οσα ηθελησα και ευοδωσω τας οδους σου και τα ενταλματα μου
[12] εν γαρ ευφροσυνη εξελευσεσθε και εν χαρα διδαχθησεσθε τα γαρ ορη και οι βουνοι εξαλουνται προσδεχομενοι υμας εν χαρα και παντα τα ξυλα του αγρου επικροτησει τοις κλαδοις
[13] και αντι της στοιβης αναβησεται κυπαρισσος αντι δε της κονυζης αναβησεται μυρσινη και εσται κυριος εις ονομα και εις σημειον αιωνιον και ουκ εκλειψει
