3 Turn your ear, and come to me.Hear, and your soul will 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 peoples,a leader and commander to the peoples.
5 Behold, you shall call a nation that you don’t know;and a nation that didn’t know you shall run to you,because of the Lord your God,and for the Holy One of Israel;for he has glorified you.”
6 Seek the Lord while he may be found.Call on him while he is near.
7 Let the wicked forsake his way,and the unrighteous man his thoughts.Let him return to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him;and to our God, for he will freely pardon.
8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,and your ways are not my ways,” says 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.
