1You⌃ that thirst, go to the water, and all that have no money, go and buy; and eat and drink wine and fat without money or price.

2Therefore do you⌃ value at the price of money, and give your labour ¹³⁷for that which will not satisfy? listen to me, and you⌃ shall eat that which is good, and your soul shall feast itself on good things.

3Give heed with your ears, and follow my ways: listen to me, and your soul shall live in prosperity; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, the sure mercies of David.

4Behold I have made him a testimony amongst the Gentiles, a prince and commander to the Gentiles.

5Nations which know you not, shall call upon you, and peoples which are not acquainted with you, shall flee to you for refuge, for the sake of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified you.

6Seek you⌃ the Lord, and when you⌃ find him, call upon him; and when he shall draw near to you,

7let the ungodly leave his ways, and the transgressor his counsels: and let him return to the Lord, and he shall find mercy; for he shall abundantly pardon your sins.

8For my counsels are not as your counsels, nor are my ways as your ways, says the Lord.

9But as the heaven is distant from the earth, so is my way distant from your ways, and your thoughts from my mind.

10For as rain shall come down, or snow, from heaven, and shall not return until it have saturated the earth, and it bring forth, and bud, and give seed to the sower, and bread for food:

11so shall my word be, whatever shall proceed out of my mouth, it shall by no means turn back, until all the things which I willed shall have been accomplished; and I will make your ways prosperous, and will effect my commands.

12For you⌃ shall go forth with joy, and shall be taught with gladness: for the mountains and the hills shall exult to welcome you with joy, and all the trees of the field shall applaud with their branches.

13And instead of the bramble shall come up the cypress, and instead of the nettle shall come up the myrtle: and the Lord shall be for a name, and for an everlasting sign, and shall not fail.
