Isaiah 55:9 Context
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. 9For as the heauens are higher then the earth, so are my wayes higher then your wayes, and my thoughts then your thouhts. 10For as the raine commeth down, and the snow from heauen, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring foorth and bud, that it may giue seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11So shall my word bee that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not returne vnto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
