Isaiah 55:9

Read in context

Isaiah 55:7–11 · Berean Standard Bible

7 Let the wicked man forsake his own way and the unrighteous man his own thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that He may have compassion, and to our God, for He will freely pardon.

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

9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so My ways are higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.

10 For just as rain and snow fall from heaven and do not return without watering the earth, making it bud and sprout, and providing seed to sow and food to eat,

11 so My word that proceeds from My mouth will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please, and it will prosper where I send it.
