Isaiah 55:8-11 (New International Version)
View In My Bible
8
"For my thoughts1 are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,"2 declares the LORD.
9
"As the heavens are higher than the earth,3 so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.4
10
As the rain5 and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish,6 so that it yields seed7 for the sower and bread for the eater,8
11
so is my word9 that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty,10 but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose11 for which I sent it.
