Isaiah 55:9

Isa 55:9 For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Ver. 9. For as the heavens are higher than the earth. ] And that is no small deal; see the note on Psalms 103:11-12 . Lo, such is the proportion that my mercy beareth to your mercy, even the very best of you, that the heaven doth to the earth - i.e., that a most vast circumference doth to one little point or centre.
