Isaiah 55
55
Trees of the Field will Clap Their Hands
1“Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the water, and you who have no money, come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost!
2Why do you spend money for what is not bread? Your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen diligently to Me, and eat what is good, and delight yourself in abundance.
3Incline your ear and come to Me. Listen, so that your soul may live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the trustworthy loyalty to David.
4Behold, I made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for the peoples.
5Behold, you will summon a nation you do not know, and a nation that did not know you will run to you, because of Adonai your God and the Holy One of Israel, for He has glorified you.”
6Seek Adonai while He may be found, call on Him while He is near.
7Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous one his thoughts, let him return to Adonai, so He may have compassion on him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.
8“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways.” It is a declaration of Adonai.
9“For as the heavens are higher than earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.
10For as the rain and snow come down from heaven, and do not return there without having watered the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to sow and bread to eat,
11so My word will be that goes out from My mouth. It will not return to Me in vain, but will accomplish what I intend, and will succeed in what I sent it for.
12“Yes, you will go out with joy and be led forth with peace. The mountains and the hills will break forth before you singing, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands!
13Instead of the thorn bush, a cypress will come up, and instead of the brier, a myrtle will come up, and it will be a memorial to Adonai, as an everlasting sign that will never be cut off.”

Isaiah 55
55
Come to the Lord
1“Come, everyone who is thirsty, # Ps 42:1-2; 63:1; 143:6; Is 41:17; 44:3; Jn 4:14; 7:37; Rv 21:6
come to the waters;
and you without money,
come, buy, and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without cost!
2Why do you spend money on what is not food,
and your wages on what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
and you will enjoy the choicest of foods. # Lit enjoy fatness
3Pay attention and come to Me;
listen, so that you will live.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you, # Gn 9:16; 17:7; 2Sm 23:5; Is 24:5; 59:21; 61:8
the promises assured to David. # Ac 13:34
4Since I have made him a witness to the peoples, # Ps 18:43
a leader and commander for the peoples, # Ezk 34:24; 37:24-25; Dn 9:25; Mc 5:2
5so you will summon a nation you do not know, # Is 45:14,22-24; 49:6
and nations who do not know you will run to you. # Zch 8:22
For the Lord your God,
even the Holy One of Israel, # Is 1:4
has glorified you.” # Is 60:9
6Seek the Lord while He may be found;
call to Him while He is near. # Ps 32:6; Am 5:4
7Let the wicked one abandon his way
and the sinful one his thoughts; # Ps 33:10; Is 32:7; 59:7; 65:2
let him return to the Lord,
so He may have compassion on him,
and to our God, for He will freely forgive. # Is 1:18; 43:25; 44:22
8“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
and your ways are not My ways.”
This is the Lord’s declaration.
9“For as heaven is higher than earth, # Ps 103:11
so My ways are higher than your ways,
and My thoughts than your thoughts.
10For just as rain and snow fall from heaven
and do not return there
without saturating the earth
and making it germinate and sprout,
and providing seed to sow
and food to eat, # 2Co 9:10
11so My word that comes from My mouth
will not return to Me empty,
but it will accomplish what I please
and will prosper in what I send it to do.” # Is 45:23; 46:10; 53:10
12You will indeed go out with joy
and be peacefully guided;
the mountains and the hills will break into singing before you,
and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. # Ps 98:8; Is 44:23
13Instead of the thornbush, a cypress will come up,
and instead of the brier, a myrtle will come up; # Is 35:1-2; 41:19; 60:13
it will make a name for Yahweh # Is 63:12-14; Jr 33:9
as an everlasting sign that will not be destroyed.
