Invitation to the Needy
“Come, all you who are thirsty, Jhn 7:37-38Rev 21:6Rev 22:17Isa 44:3Jhn 4:10-14Isa 41:17-18Psa 143:6Rev 22:1
come to the waters;
and you without money,
come, buy, and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without cost!
Why spend money on that which is not bread, Jhn 6:48-58Jer 2:13Psa 22:26Psa 36:8Rom 10:2-3Heb 13:9Isa 51:7Jer 31:14
and your labor on that which does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
and your soul will delight in the richest of foods.
Incline your ear and come to Me; Jer 32:40Mat 11:28Pro 4:20Jhn 10:27Act 13:34Gen 17:7Isa 61:8Jhn 6:37
listen, so that your soul may live.
I will make with you an everlasting covenant—
My loving devotion promised to David. 1
Behold, I have made him a witness to the nations, Rev 1:5Isa 9:6-7Heb 2:10Rev 3:141Ti 6:13Dan 9:25Ezk 34:23-24Jer 30:9
a leader and commander of the peoples.
Surely you will summon a nation you do not know, Isa 60:5Isa 60:9Zec 2:11Isa 56:8Jhn 17:1Rom 15:20Gen 49:10Isa 55:4
and nations who do not know you will run to you.
For the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel,
has bestowed glory on you.”
Seek the LORD while He may be found; Jer 29:12-14Psa 145:18Isa 45:19Psa 32:6Psa 14:2Isa 65:24Mat 7:7-82Co 6:1-2
call on Him while He is near.
Let the wicked man forsake his own way Pro 28:13Jas 4:8-10Ezk 18:21-23Isa 44:22Luk 15:10Jon 3:10Ezk 33:14-16Isa 43:25
and the unrighteous man his own thoughts;
let him return to the LORD,
that He may have compassion,
and to our God,
for He will freely pardon.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Psa 92:5Psa 40:5Hos 14:9Psa 25:10Ezk 18:29Dan 4:37Isa 53:6Pro 21:8
neither are your ways My ways,”
declares the LORD.
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, Psa 103:11Rom 11:31-36Mat 11:25Psa 77:19Psa 36:5Psa 89:2
so My ways are higher than your ways
and My thoughts than your thoughts.
For just as rain and snow fall from heaven 2Co 9:9-11Deu 32:2Isa 30:23Ezk 34:26Hos 10:12Isa 61:11Psa 65:9-131Sa 23:4
and do not return without watering the earth,
making it bud and sprout,
and providing seed to sow and food to eat,
so My word that proceeds from My mouth Mat 24:35Isa 46:10Rom 10:17Jhn 6:63Isa 45:23Luk 8:11-161Co 1:181Th 2:13
will not return to Me empty,
but it will accomplish what I please,
and it will prosper where I send it.
You will indeed go out with joy Gal 5:22Rom 15:13Isa 44:23Psa 105:43Psa 96:11-13Psa 98:7-9Rev 19:1-6Isa 49:13
and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
Instead of the thornbush, a cypress 2will grow, Eph 3:20-211Pe 2:9-10Isa 41:192Co 5:17Isa 61:3Jer 33:9Isa 60:131Pe 4:11
and instead of the brier, a myrtle will spring up;
they will make a name for the LORD,
an everlasting sign, never to be destroyed.”
