Isaiah
55:8-11
NIV
Translation
Isaiah
55
8
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,"
declares the LORD.
9
"As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10
As the rain and the snow
come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,
so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,
11
so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. |

55:8-11
New
Living Translation
Isaiah
55
8 “My thoughts are
nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord.
“And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.
9 For just as the
heavens are higher than the earth,
so my ways are higher than your ways
and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.
10 “The rain and
snow come down from the heavens
and stay on the ground to water the earth.
They cause
the grain to grow,
producing seed for the farmer
and bread for the hungry.
11 It is the same
with my word.
I send it out, and it always produces fruit.
It will accomplish
all I want it to,
and it will prosper everywhere I send it. |
