The word “Seek the LORD while he may be found,” and the LORD’s word “my thoughts are not your thoughts”
여호와를 만날만한 때에 찾으라는 말과 내 생각은 너희 생각과 다르다 하는 여호와의 말씀
Isaiah 55:6–13: the text says, “Seek the LORD while he may be found. Call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts. Let him return to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him, to our God, for he will freely pardon.” “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways,” says the LORD. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain comes down and the snow from the sky, and doesn’t return there, but waters the earth, and makes it grow and bud, and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater; so is my word that goes out of my mouth: it will not return to me void, but it will accomplish that which I please, and it will prosper in the thing I sent it to do. For you shall go out with joy, and be led out with peace. The mountains and the hills will break out before you into singing; and all the trees of the fields will clap their hands. Instead of the thorn the cypress tree will come up; and instead of the brier the myrtle tree will come up. It will make a name for the LORD, for an everlasting sign that will not be cut off.” The Korean Revised Version opens 55:8 with 여호와의 말씀에, at the LORD’s word, and closes 55:13 with 하시니라. At 55:7 it gives commands (여호와께로 돌아오라 그리하면 그가 긍휼히 여기시리라 우리 하나님께로 나아오라), where WEB reads “Let him return to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him, to our God”; at 55:8 it reads 내 길은 너희 길과 달라서, where WEB reads “and your ways are not my ways”; and at 55:13 it reads 잣나무, where WEB reads “the cypress tree”.
