Chapter 55

Phonetic (Hebrew): h֤oy kּal-tzame'֙ lek֣u lamּa֔yim va'ashshe֥r 'eֽyn-l֖o kּa֑sep lek֤u shshiberu֙ veֽ'eko֔lu ulek֣u shshiber֗u bּelo'-ke֛sep ubel֥o mechi֖yr ya֥yin vechalaֽb׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Ho, every one that thirsts, come you to the waters, and he that has no money; come you, buy, and eat; yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

ה֤וֹי כָּל־צָמֵא֙ לְכ֣וּ לַמַּ֔יִם וַאֲשֶׁ֥ר אֵֽין־ל֖וֹ כָּ֑סֶף לְכ֤וּ שִׁבְרוּ֙ וֶֽאֱכֹ֔לוּ וּלְכ֣וּ שִׁבְר֗וּ בְּלוֹא־כֶ֛סֶף וּבְל֥וֹא מְחִ֖יר יַ֥יִן וְחָלָֽב׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): la֤mּah tishsheqelu-ke֨sep֙ bּeֽlo'-le֔chem viygiy'ake֖m bּel֣o leshsabe'a֑h shshime'֨u shsham֤o'a 'elay֙ ve'ikelu-t֔ob vetite'anּa֥g bּadּe֖shshen napeshshekeֽm׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Wherefore do you spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfies not? hearken diligently to Me, and eat you that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

לָ֤מָּה תִשְׁקְלוּ־כֶ֨סֶף֙ בְּֽלוֹא־לֶ֔חֶם וִיגִיעֲכֶ֖ם בְּל֣וֹא לְשָׂבְעָ֑ה שִׁמְע֨וּ שָׁמ֤וֹעַ אֵלַי֙ וְאִכְלוּ־ט֔וֹב וְתִתְעַנַּ֥ג בַּדֶּ֖שֶׁן נַפְשְׁכֶֽם׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): hatּ֤u 'azenekem֙ ulek֣u 'ela֔y shshime'֖u utechi֣y napeshsheke֑m ve'ekereta֤h lakem֙ bּeri֣yt 'ola֔m chaֽsede֥y davi֖d hanּe'emaniֽym׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Incline your ear, and come to Me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

הַטּ֤וּ אָזְנְכֶם֙ וּלְכ֣וּ אֵלַ֔י שִׁמְע֖וּ וּתְחִ֣י נַפְשְׁכֶ֑ם וְאֶכְרְתָ֤ה לָכֶם֙ בְּרִ֣ית עוֹלָ֔ם חַֽסְדֵ֥י דָוִ֖ד הַנֶּאֱמָנִֽים׃

4
Phonetic (Hebrew): he֛n 'e֥d le'umּi֖ym netatּi֑yv nagi֥yd umetzaue֖h le'umּiֽym׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.

הֵ֛ן עֵ֥ד לְאוּמִּ֖ים נְתַתִּ֑יו נָגִ֥יד וּמְצַוֵּ֖ה לְאֻמִּֽים׃

5
Phonetic (Hebrew): he֣n gּ֤oy loֽ'-teda'֙ tּiqera֔ veg֥oy loֽ'-yeda'֖uka 'ele֣yka yar֑utzu lema֨'an֙ yehva֣h 'elohe֔yka veliqed֥oshsh yishsera'e֖l kּi֥y pe'araֽke׃s
Edified Edition (EDE)Behold, you shall call a nation that you know not, and nations that knew not you shall run to you because of the LORD your God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for He has glorified you.

הֵ֣ן גּ֤וֹי לֹֽא־תֵדַע֙ תִּקְרָ֔א וְג֥וֹי לֹֽא־יְדָע֖וּךָ אֵלֶ֣יךָ יָר֑וּצוּ לְמַ֨עַן֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ וְלִקְד֥וֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל כִּ֥י פֵאֲרָֽךְ׃ס

6
Phonetic (Hebrew): dּireshsh֥u yehva֖h bּehimּatze'֑o qera'u֖hu bּiֽheyot֥o qarֽob׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Seek you the LORD while He may be found, call you upon Him while He is near:

דִּרְשׁ֥וּ יְהוָ֖ה בְּהִמָּצְא֑וֹ קְרָאֻ֖הוּ בִּֽהְיוֹת֥וֹ קָרֽוֹב׃

7
Phonetic (Hebrew): ya'azo֤b rashsha'֙ dּarekּ֔o ve'i֥yshsh 'a֖ven macheshshebota֑yv veyashsho֤b 'el-yehvah֙ viֽyrachame֔hu ve'el-'elohe֖ynu kּiֽy-yarebּe֥h liselֽocha׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return to the LORD, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.

יַעֲזֹ֤ב רָשָׁע֙ דַּרְכּ֔וֹ וְאִ֥ישׁ אָ֖וֶן מַחְשְׁבֹתָ֑יו וְיָשֹׁ֤ב אֶל־יְהוָה֙ וִֽירַחֲמֵ֔הוּ וְאֶל־אֱלֹהֵ֖ינוּ כִּֽי־יַרְבֶּ֥ה לִסְלֽוֹחַ׃

8
Phonetic (Hebrew): kּi֣y lo֤ macheshshebotay֙ macheshsheb֣oteyke֔m velo֥ darekeyke֖m dּeraka֑y ne'u֖m yehvaֽh׃
Edified Edition (EDE)For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the LORD.

כִּ֣י לֹ֤א מַחְשְׁבוֹתַי֙ מַחְשְׁב֣וֹתֵיכֶ֔ם וְלֹ֥א דַרְכֵיכֶ֖ם דְּרָכָ֑י נְאֻ֖ם יְהוָֽה׃

9
Phonetic (Hebrew): kּiֽy-gabeh֥u shshama֖yim me'a֑retz kּe֣n gּabeh֤u derakay֙ midּarekeyke֔m umacheshshebota֖y mimּacheshsheboteykeֽm׃
Edified Edition (EDE)For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.

כִּֽי־גָבְה֥וּ שָׁמַ֖יִם מֵאָ֑רֶץ כֵּ֣ן גָּבְה֤וּ דְרָכַי֙ מִדַּרְכֵיכֶ֔ם וּמַחְשְׁבֹתַ֖י מִמַּחְשְׁבֹתֵיכֶֽם׃

Edified Edition (EDE)For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and returns not There, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

כִּ֡י כַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר יֵרֵד֩ הַגֶּ֨שֶׁם וְהַשֶּׁ֜לֶג מִן־הַשָּׁמַ֗יִם וְשָׁ֨מָּה֙ לֹ֣א יָשׁ֔וּב כִּ֚י אִם־הִרְוָ֣ה אֶת־הָאָ֔רֶץ וְהוֹלִידָ֖הּ וְהִצְמִיחָ֑הּ וְנָ֤תַן זֶ֨רַע֙ לַזֹּרֵ֔עַ וְלֶ֖חֶם לָאֹכֵֽל׃

11
Phonetic (Hebrew): kּe֣n yiֽheye֤h debariy֙ 'ashshe֣r yetze֣ mipּi֔y loֽ'-yashsh֥ub 'ela֖y reyqa֑m kּi֤y 'im-'ashsah֙ 'et-'ashshe֣r chapa֔tzetּiy vehitzeli֖ycha 'ashshe֥r shshelachetּiֽyv׃
Edified Edition (EDE)So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

כֵּ֣ן יִֽהְיֶ֤ה דְבָרִי֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר יֵצֵ֣א מִפִּ֔י לֹֽא־יָשׁ֥וּב אֵלַ֖י רֵיקָ֑ם כִּ֤י אִם־עָשָׂה֙ אֶת־אֲשֶׁ֣ר חָפַ֔צְתִּי וְהִצְלִ֖יחַ אֲשֶׁ֥ר שְׁלַחְתִּֽיו׃

12
Phonetic (Hebrew): kּiֽy-beshsimecha֣h tetze֔'u ubeshshal֖om tּֽubal֑un hehari֣ym vehagּeba'֗ot yipetzech֤u lipeneykem֙ rinּa֔h vekal-'atze֥y hashsּade֖h yimecha'u-kaֽp׃
Edified Edition (EDE)For you 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.

כִּֽי־בְשִׂמְחָ֣ה תֵצֵ֔אוּ וּבְשָׁל֖וֹם תּֽוּבָל֑וּן הֶהָרִ֣ים וְהַגְּבָע֗וֹת יִפְצְח֤וּ לִפְנֵיכֶם֙ רִנָּ֔ה וְכָל־עֲצֵ֥י הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה יִמְחֲאוּ־כָֽף׃

13
Phonetic (Hebrew): tּa֤chat haֽnּa'atzutz֙ ya'ale֣h ber֔oshsh tcht veta֥chat hasּirepּa֖d ya'ale֣h hada֑s vehaya֤h laֽyhvah֙ leshshe֔m le'֥ot 'ola֖m lo֥ yikּareֽt׃s
Edified Edition (EDE)Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the murtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

תַּ֤חַת הַֽנַּעֲצוּץ֙ יַעֲלֶ֣ה בְר֔וֹשׁ תחת וְתַ֥חַת הַסִּרְפַּ֖ד יַעֲלֶ֣ה הֲדַ֑ס וְהָיָ֤ה לַֽיהוָה֙ לְשֵׁ֔ם לְא֥וֹת עוֹלָ֖ם לֹ֥א יִכָּרֵֽת׃ס
