Isaiah 55:6 Context
4Behold, I haue giuen him for a witnesse to the people, a leader and commander to the people. 5Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee, shall runne vnto thee, because of the Lord thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel, for he hath glorified thee. 6¶ Seeke ye the Lord, while he may be found, call ye vpon him while he is neere. 7Let the wicked forsake his way, & the vnrighteous man his thoughts: and let him returne vnto the Lord, and he will haue mercie vpon him, and to our God, for hee will abundantly pardon. 8¶ For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your wayes my wayes, saith the Lord.
