Seek the Lord while he may be found; call to him while he is near.
Commentaries
55:6 - 55:11
The Word of the Lord.
The prophet intervenes in verses 6-7 to urge the exiles to respond to the Lord’s invitation at the right moment. God’s mercy has ways and means that are mysterious to us (8-9), and his word is powerful; it has the ability to create life, nourish, sustain, and renew creation (10-11).
