Isaiah 55:9 in Context — Isaiah 55

7 Que o perverso deixe seu caminho, e o homem maligno [deixe] seus pensamentos, e converta ao SENHOR; então dele terá compaixão; [converta] ao nosso Deus, porque ele grandemente perdoa.

8 Pois meus pensamentos não são vossos pensamentos, nem vossos caminhos são meus caminhos, diz o SENHOR.

9 Porque [tal como] os céus são mais altos que a terra, assim também meus caminhos são mais altos que vossos caminhos, e meus pensamentos [mais altos] que vossos pensamentos.

10 Porque tal como a chuva e a neve desce dos céus, e para lá não volta, mas rega a terra, e a faz produzir, brotar, e dar semente ao semeador, e pão ao que come;

11 Assim também será minha palavra, que não voltará a mim vazia; ao contrário, ela fará o que me agrada, e cumprirá aquilo para que a enviei.
