^aSeek the Lord while He may be found;
^bCall upon Him while He is near.

(NET2full)

Isa 55: 7

(KJV)

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. ^{▼▼ the unrighteous…: Heb. the man of iniquity
,} ^{▼▼ abundantly…: Heb. multiply to pardon}

(NASB2020)

^fLet the wicked abandon his way,
And the unrighteous person his ^gthoughts;
And let him ^hreturn to the Lord,
And He will have ⁱcompassion on him,
And to our God,
For He will ^jabundantly pardon.

(NET2full)

The wicked need to abandon their lifestyle ^{▼▼tn Heb “Let the wicked one abandon his way.” The singular is collective.}
and sinful people their plans. ^{▼▼tn Heb “and the man of evil his thoughts.” The singular is collective.}
They should return ^{▼▼tn Heb “let him return.” The singular is collective, meaning “let them.”} to the Lord, and he will show mercy to them, ^{▼▼tn The imperfect with vav (ו) conjunctive after the jussive indicates purpose/result.}
and to their God, for he will freely forgive them. ^{▼▼sn The appeal and promise of vv. 6-7 echoes the language of Deut 4:25-31; 30:1-10; and 1 Kgs 8:46-53, all of which anticipate the exile and speak of the prerequisites for restoration.}
