| Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near. | Seek the Lord while he still may be found; call to him when he is close at hand. |
| Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. | Let the wicked abandon their ways and those who are evil their thoughts. Let them return to the Lord so that he may have mercy upon them; and to our God, for he is rich in forgiveness. |
| For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. | For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways 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. | As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts above your thoughts. |
| So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it. | So shall my word be that issues forth from my mouth. It will not return to me unfulfilled, but it will accomplish my purpose and achieve what I sent it forth to do. |
