Isaiah 55:5-7
Expanded Bible

5 [L Look; T Behold] You will call for nations that you don’t yet know.
    And these nations that do not know you will run to you
because of the Lord your God,
    because of the Holy One of Israel [1:4] who ·honors [has glorified] you.”

6 ·So you should look for [L Seek] the Lord ·before it is too late [while he may be found];
    you should call to him while he is near.
7 The wicked should ·stop doing wrong [abandon/forsake their ways],
    and ·they [L the unrighteous person] should stop their evil thoughts.
They should return to the Lord so he may have ·mercy [compassion] on them.
    They should come to our God, because he will freely forgive them [Deut. 4:25–31; 30:1–10; 1 Kin. 8:46–53].
