## 📜 Scripture Text (NET)
(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
### The Lord Gives an Invitation
[[#Verse 01.]] “Hey, all who are thirsty, come to the water! You who have no money, come! Buy and eat! Come! Buy wine and milk without money and without cost.
[[#Verse 02.]] Why pay money for something that will not nourish you? Why spend your hard-earned money on something that will not satisfy? Listen carefully to me and eat what is nourishing! Enjoy fine food.
[[#Verse 03.]] Pay attention and come to me. Listen, so you can live. Then I will make an unconditional covenantal promise to you, just like the reliable covenantal promises I made to David.
[[#Verse 04.]] Look, I made him a witness to nations, a ruler and commander of nations.”
[[#Verse 05.]] Look, you will summon nations you did not previously know; nations that did not previously know you will run to you, because of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he bestows honor on you.
[[#Verse 06.]] Seek the Lord while he makes himself available; call to him while he is nearby!
[[#Verse 07.]] The wicked need to abandon their lifestyle and sinful people their plans. They should return to the Lord, and he will show mercy to them, and to their God, for he will freely forgive them.
[[#Verse 08.]] “Indeed, my plans are not like your plans,
and my deeds are not like your deeds,” says the Lord,
[[#Verse 09.]] “for just as the sky is higher than the earth,
so my deeds are superior to your deeds
and my plans superior to your plans.
[[#Verse 10.]] The rain and snow fall from the sky
and do not return,
but instead water the earth
and make it produce and yield crops,
and provide seed for the planter and food for those who must eat.
[[#Verse 11.]] In the same way, the promise that I make
does not return to me, having accomplished nothing.
No, it is realized as I desire
and is fulfilled as I intend.”
[[#Verse 12.]] Indeed you will go out with joy;
you will be led along in peace;
the mountains and hills will give a joyful shout before you,
and all the trees in the field will clap their hands.
[[#Verse 13.]] Evergreens will grow in place of thorn bushes,
firs will grow in place of nettles;
they will be a monument to the Lord,
a permanent reminder that will remain.
