Isaiah 5:16 the, 20; 55:2 (to 2nd ?), 3 (to ;), 6–8; 62:10, 12
5:16 . . . the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
55:2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not?
3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live;
6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
62:10 Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.
12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.
