Isa 55:7  Let the wicked leave their way of life and change their way of thinking. Let them turn to the LORD, our God; he is merciful and quick to forgive. 

Isa 55:8  “My thoughts,” says the LORD, “are not like yours, and my ways are different from yours. 

Isa 55:9  As high as the heavens are above the earth, so high are my ways and thoughts above yours. 

Isa 55:10  “My word is like the snow and the rain that come down from the sky to water the earth. They make the crops grow and provide seed for planting and food to eat. 

Isa 55:11  So also will be the word that I speak—it will not fail to do what I plan for it; it will do everything I send it to do. 

Isa 55:12  “You will leave Babylon with joy; you will be led out of the city in peace. The mountains and hills will burst into singing, and the trees will shout for joy. 

Isa 55:13  Cypress trees will grow where now there are briers; myrtle trees will come up in place of thorns. This will be a sign that will last forever, a reminder of what I, the LORD, have done.”
