Rhyming Isaiah, Chapter 55

Rhyming Isaiah, Chapter 55

Whoe’er is thirsty, you, I now invite
to come, the water, to, and come and buy,
you who are lacking money, food to eat.
Come now, and you can buy both milk and wine,
but without money, buy them without price.
Why pay your money for what isn’t bread,
and for what does not satisfy, expend
your labor?  Listen to me carefully,
and eat that which is good and too, delight
yourselves in rich food.   Now, your ear, incline,
come listen to me so that, live, you may.
With you, a covenant that lasts, I’ll make, 
forever, to fulfill my promises
to David, I assured, for benefits.
To peoples, as a witness, I made him,
a ruler for the people and a prince.
See, nations you don’t know, them you will call,
and nations you don’t know, run to you, shall,
because the LORD, of Israel, your God,
the Holy One, for he’s, you, glorified. 

The LORD, seek him, then, while he may be found,
upon him, call, the time while he’s close ‘round.
Their way, now, let the wicked, that, forsake,
and the unrighteous, too, their thoughts, betray.
For my thoughts aren’t your thoughts, nor are your ways
my ways, this is what he, the LORD, now says.
For as the heavens, high above, are they,
the earth, so are my ways above your ways,
and too my thoughts, your thoughts, are higher than.

For as the rain and too the snow come down
from heaven and do not return again
until the earth, they’ve watered, and the land,
makes it bring forth and sprout, thus giving seed,
that to the sower, and that brings forth bread
that for the eater, so too shall my word
that goes forth from my mouth, it never shall
to me, return, both empty, unfulfilled,
but, all my purposes, it will achieve,
and that for which I sent it, it succeeds.

For you’ll go out, and you’ll with joy, proceed,
and you will be brought back in peace as well;
the mountains and the hills before you shall
burst into song, and also all the trees,
how they will clap their hands, those of the field.
Instead of thorns shall grow the cypresses,
no briars, but the myrtle flourishes,
and it shall all be a memorial,
one to the LORD, a sign, perpetual,
imperishable, also, durable.
