1	Ho, every one that thirsteth, come# ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come# ye, buy# , and eat# ; yea, come# , buy# wine and milk without money and without price.
			2	Wherefore do ye spend# money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken# diligently# unto me, and eat# ye that which is good, and let your soul delight# itself in fatness. [spend: Heb. weigh]
			3	Incline# your ear, and come# unto me: hear# , and your soul shall live# ; and I will make# an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure# mercies of David.
			4	Behold, I have given# him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander# to the people.
			5	Behold, thou shalt call# a nation that thou knowest# not, and nations that knew# not thee shall run# unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified# thee.
			6	Seek# ye the LORD while he may be found# , call# ye upon him while he is near:
			7	Let the wicked forsake# his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return# unto the LORD, and he will have mercy# upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly# pardon# . [the unrighteous...: Heb. the man of iniquity] [abundantly...: Heb. multiply to pardon]
			8	For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith# the LORD.
			9	For as the heavens are higher# than the earth, so are my ways higher# than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
			10	For as the rain cometh down# , and the snow from heaven, and returneth# not thither, but watereth# the earth, and maketh it bring forth# and bud# , that it may give# seed to the sower# , and bread to the eater# :
			11	So shall my word be that goeth forth# out of my mouth: it shall not return# unto me void, but it shall accomplish# that which I please# , and it shall prosper# in the thing whereto I sent# it.
			12	For ye shall go out# with joy, and be led forth# with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth# before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap# their hands.
			13	Instead of the thorn shall come up# the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up# the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off# .
