| Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near. | Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near. |
| Let the wicked abandon his way, And the unrighteous person his thoughts; And let him return to the Lord, And He will have compassion on him, And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. | Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon. |

| “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord. | “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares 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 than your thoughts. |
| So will My word be which goes out of My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the purpose for which I sent it. | So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. |
