Isaiah 55:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, [a]and a nation that knew not thee, shall run unto thee because of the Lord thy God, and the Holy one of Israel: for he hath glorified thee.
6 Seek ye the Lord while he may be [b]found: call ye upon him while he is near.
7 Let the wicked [c]forsake his ways, and the unrighteous his own imaginations, and return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he is very ready to forgive.
