55.3 :And I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
 * Even the sure mercies of David.
 * Behold, I have given him for a witness to the peoples,
 * A prince and commander to the peoples.
 * Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not,
 * And a nation that knew not thee shall run unto thee;
 * Because of the thy God,
 * And for the Holy One of Israel, for He hath glorified thee.


 * Seek ye the while He may be found,
 * Call ye upon Him while He is near;
 * Let the wicked forsake his way,
 * And the man of iniquity his thoughts;
 * And let him return unto the, and He will have compassion upon him,
 * And to our God, for He will abundantly pardon
 * For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
 * Neither are your ways My ways, saith the.
 * For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
 * So are My ways higher than your ways,
 * And My thoughts than your thoughts.
 * For as the rain cometh down and the snow from heaven,
 * And returneth not thither,
 * Except it water the earth,
 * And make it bring forth and bud,
 * And give seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
 * So shall My word be that goeth forth out of My mouth:
 * It shall not return unto Me void,
 * Except it accomplish that which I please,
 * And make the thing whereto I sent it prosper.
 * For ye shall go out with joy,
 * And be led forth with peace;
 * The mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing,
 * And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
 * Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress,
 * And instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle;
 * And it shall be to the for a memorial,
 * For an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.


 * Thus saith the :
 * Keep ye justice, and do righteousness;
 * For My salvation is near to come,
 * And My favour to be revealed.
 * Happy is the man that doeth this,
 * And the son of man that holdeth fast by it:
 * That keepeth the sabbath from profaning it,
 * And keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
 * Neither let the alien,
 * That hath joined himself to the, speak, saying:
 * 'The will surely separate me from His people';
 * Neither let the eunuch say:
 * 'Behold, I am a dry tree.'
 * For thus saith the
 * Concerning the eunuchs that keep My sabbaths,
 * And choose the things that please Me,
 * And hold fast by My covenant:
 * Even unto them will I give in My house
