⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.

“Hey! Come, everyone who thirsts, to the waters! Come, he who has no money, buy, and eat! Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
Why do you spend money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which doesn’t satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in richness.
Behold, you shall call a nation that you don’t know; and a nation that didn’t know you shall run to you, because of Yahweh your God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified you.”
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts. Let him return to Yahweh, and he will have mercy on him, to our God, for he will freely pardon.
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.
我口所出的話也必如此， 決不徒然返回， 卻要成就我所喜悅的， 在我發他去成就 的事上必然亨通。
55:12
እስመ፡ በፍሥሐ፡ ትወፅኡ፡ ወበኃሤት፡ ትትሜሀሩ።
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.
你們必歡歡喜喜而出來， 平平安安蒙引導。 大山小山必在你們面前發聲歌唱； 田野的樹木也都拍掌。

ወህየንተ፡ ሦክ፡ ይበቍል፡ ኤላጡኑስ፡ ወህየንተ፡ ክርዳድ፡ ዕፀ፡ ሕቍ።
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 Yahweh, for an everlasting sign that will not be cut off.”
