Isaiah 55

New Jerusalem Bible	Le Sainte Bible Fillion
¹ Oh, come to the water al you who are thirsty; though you have no money, come! Buy and eat; come,buy wine and milk without money, free!
² Why spend money on what cannot nourish and your wages on what fails to satisfy? Listen carefully tome, and you wil have good things to eat and rich food to enjoy.
³ Pay attention, come to me; listen, and you wil live. I shall make an everlasting covenant with you infulfilment of the favours promised to David.
⁴ Look, I have made him a witness to peoples, a leader and lawgiver to peoples.
⁵ Look, you wil summon a nation unknown to you, a nation unknown to you will hurry to you for the sakeof Yahweh your God, because the Holy One of Israel has glorified you.
⁶ Seek out Yahweh while he is stil to be found, cal to him while he is still near.
⁷ Let the wicked abandon his way and the evil one his thoughts. Let him turn back to Yahweh who willtake pity on him, to our God, for he is rich in forgiveness;
⁸ for my thoughts are not your thoughts and your ways are not my ways, declares Yahweh.
⁹ For the heavens are as high above earth as my ways are above your ways, my thoughts above yourthoughts.
¹⁰ For, as the rain and the snow come down from the sky and do not return before having watered theearth, fertilising it and making it germinate to provide seed for the sower and food to eat,
¹¹ so it is with the word that goes from my mouth: it wil not return to me unfulfilled or before havingcarried out my good pleasure and having achieved what it was sent to do.
¹² Yes, you wil go out with joy and be led away in safety. Mountains and hil s wil break into joyful criesbefore you and all the trees of the countryside clap their hands.
¹³ Cypress wil grow instead of thorns, myrtle instead of nettles. And this wil be fame for Yahweh, aneternal monument never to be effaced.
