Isaiah 55:8-9
““For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” says Yahweh. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.””
This passage comes from the prophet Isaiah, specifically a section often attributed to 'Second Isaiah' (chapters 40-55), written towards the end of the Babylonian exile (around 550 BCE). The prophet is addressing a people who have endured generations of displacement and suffering, reassuring them of God's coming salvation and urging them to return to God.
