Isaiah 55:12-13

The LORD Invites the Thirsty to Receive His Everlasting Covenant Mercy

From free invitation to the thirsty, to rebuke of false spending, to the call to listen and live, to the promise of everlasting Davidic covenant mercy, to the nations drawn by the LORD’s glorifying work, to urgent repentance, to the higher thoughts and ways of God, to the certainty of God’s accomplishing word, to joyful peace and creation’s transformed praise.

12 You will indeed go out with joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.

13 Instead of the thornbush, the cypress will grow, and instead of the brier, the myrtle will spring up; this will make a name for the LORD, an everlasting sign, never to be destroyed.”
