Isaiah 55:6-9 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

⁶Seek the LORD while He may be found;

call on Him while He is near.

⁷Let the wicked man forsake his own way

and the unrighteous man his own thoughts;

let him return to the LORD,

that He may have compassion,

and to our God,

for He will freely pardon.

⁸“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,

neither are your ways My ways,”

⁹“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

so My ways are higher than your ways

and My thoughts than your thoughts.

— Isaiah 55:6-9
