Isaiah 55: 6-7

   Isaiah 55: 6-7

6 Seek the Lord while he may be 

   found;

   call on him while he is near.

7 Let the wicked forsake their ways

   and the unrighteous their thoughts.

   Let them turn to the Lord, 

   and he will have mercy on them,

   and to our God, for he will freely   

   pardon.

Isaiah 55: 1-3

   Isaiah 55: 1-3

1 Come, all you who are thirsty,

   come to the waters;

   and you who have no money,

   come, buy and eat!

   Come, buy wine and milk

   without money and without cost.

2 Why spend money on what is not   

   bread, and your labor on 

   what does not satisfy?

   Listen, listen to me, and eat 

   what is good, and you will delight

   in the richest of fare.

3 Give ear and come to me;

   listen, that you may live.

   I will make an everlasting covenant

   with you, my faithful love 

   promised to David.

Isaiah 55: 8- 11

    Isaiah 55: 8-11

8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,

    neither are your ways my ways,”

    declares the Lord.

9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,

    so are my ways higher than your ways

    and my thoughts than your thoughts.

10 As the rain and the snow

    come down from heaven,

    and do not return to it

    without watering the earth

    and making it bud and flourish,

    so that it yields seed for the sower 

    and bread for the eater,

11 so is my word that goes out 

     from my mouth:

     It will not return to me empty,

     but will accomplish what I desire

     and achieve the purpose 

     for which I sent it.

Isaiah 51: 4-8

Isaiah 51: 4-8

4 “Listen to me, my people;

    hear me, my nation:

    Instruction will go out from me;

    my justice will become a light 

    to the nations.

5 My righteousness draws near 

    speedily,

    my salvation is on the way,

    and my arm will bring justice 

    to the nations.

    The islands will look to me

    and wait in hope for my arm.

6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens,

    look at the earth beneath;

    the heavens will vanish like smoke,

    the earth will wear out like a garment

    and its inhabitants die like flies.

    But my salvation will last forever,

    my righteousness will never fail.

7 “Hear me, you who know what is right,

    you people who have 

    taken my instruction to heart:

    Do not fear the reproach of mere    

     mortals

    or be terrified by their insults.

8 For the moth will eat them up 

    like a   garment;

    the worm will devour them like wool.

    But my righteousness will last forever,

    my salvation through all generations 

Isaiah 43:25

       

        I, even I, am he 

        who blots out 

        your transgressions, 

        for my own sake,

        and remembers 

         your sins no more.

Isaiah 1:15-17

                 

 Isaiah 1:15-17

15  When you spread out your hands 

      in prayer,

      I hide my eyes from you;

      even when you offer many prayers,

      I am not listening.

      Your hands are full of blood!

16  Wash and make yourselves clean.

      Take your evil deeds out of my sight;

      stop doing wrong.

17  Learn to do right; seek justice.

      Defend the oppressed.

      Take up the cause of the fatherless;

      plead the case of the widow.
