3 Pay attention and come to Me;listen, so that you will live.I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the promises assured to David.
4 Since I have made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for the peoples,
5 so 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,even the Holy One of Israel, has glorified you.”
6 Seek the Lord while He may be found;call to Him while He is near.
7 Let the wicked one abandon his wayand the sinful one his thoughts; let him return to the Lord,so He may have compassion on him,and to our God, for He will freely forgive.
8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts,and your ways are not My ways.”This is the Lord’s declaration.
9 “For as heaven is higher than earth, so My ways are higher than your ways,and My thoughts than your thoughts.
