1 Ah! Todos vós, os que tendes sede, vinde às águas; e vós, os que não tendes dinheiro, vinde, comprai e comei; sim, vinde e comprai, sem dinheiro e sem preço, vinho e leite. 2 Por que gastais o dinheiro naquilo que não é pão, e o vosso suor, naquilo que não satisfaz? Ouvi-me atentamente, comei o que é bom e vos deleitareis com finos manjares. 3 Inclinai os ouvidos e vinde a mim; ouvi, e a vossa alma viverá; porque convosco farei uma aliança perpétua, que consiste nas fiéis misericórdias prometidas a Davi. 4 Eis que eu o dei por testemunho aos povos, como príncipe e governador dos povos. 5 Eis que chamarás a uma nação que não conheces, e uma nação que nunca te conheceu correrá para junto de ti, por amor do Senhor, teu Deus, e do Santo de Israel, porque este te glorificou.

6 Buscai o Senhor enquanto se pode achar, invocai-o enquanto está perto. 7 Deixe o perverso o seu caminho, o iníquo, os seus pensamentos; converta-se ao Senhor, que se compadecerá dele, e volte-se para o nosso Deus, porque é rico em perdoar. 8 Porque os meus pensamentos não são os vossos pensamentos, nem os vossos caminhos, os meus caminhos, diz o Senhor, 9 porque, assim como os céus são mais altos do que a terra, assim são os meus caminhos mais altos do que os vossos caminhos, e os meus pensamentos, mais altos do que os vossos pensamentos. 10 Porque, assim como descem a chuva e a neve dos céus e para lá não tornam, sem que primeiro reguem a terra, e a fecundem, e a façam brotar, para dar semente ao semeador e pão ao que come, 11 assim será a palavra que sair da minha boca: não voltará para mim vazia, mas fará o que me apraz e prosperará naquilo para que a designei.

12 Saireis com alegria e em paz sereis guiados; os montes e os outeiros romperão em cânticos diante de vós, e todas as árvores do campo baterão palmas. 13 Em lugar do espinheiro, crescerá o cipreste, e em lugar da sarça crescerá a murta; e será isto glória para o Senhor e memorial eterno, que jamais será extinto.

1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. 2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. 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. 4 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander to the peoples. 5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not; and a nation that knew not thee shall run unto thee, because of Jehovah thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.

6 Seek ye Jehovah while he may be found; call ye upon him while he is near: 7 let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return unto Jehovah, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith Jehovah. 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 cometh down and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, and giveth seed to the sower and bread to the eater; 11 so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. 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 fields shall clap their hands. 13 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 Jehovah for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

1 "Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.

2 Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and you will delight in the richest of fare.

3 Give ear and come to me; listen, that you may live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful love promised to David.

4 See, I have made him a witness to the peoples, a ruler and commander of the peoples.

5 Surely you will summon nations you know not, and nations you do not know will come running to you, because of the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has endowed you with splendor."

6 Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near.

7 Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.

8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD.

9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

10 As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,

11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

12 You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.

13 Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow. This will be for the LORD's renown, for an everlasting sign, that will endure forever."
