Isaiah 55:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 Behold, I have made him a witness to the nations, a leader and commander of the peoples.

5 Surely you will summon a nation you do not know, and nations who do not know you will run to you. For the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, has bestowed glory on you.”

6 Seek the LORD while He may be found; call on Him while He is near.

8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD.
