Commentary for Isaiah 55:8

For My thoughts are not your thoughts Mine and yours are not the same; therefore, I say to you, “The wicked shall give up his way,” and adopt My way...

For my thoughts are not yours. You thought that I should punish you even after your return to me; but your thoughts are not mine; my intention is to do good to you. Neither are your ways my ways. My ways are righteous; comp., Are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal ? (Ez. 18:19)

“and a man of iniquity his thoughts” and adopt My thoughts, to do what is good in My eyes. And the Midrash Aggadah (Tanhuma Buber, Vayeshev 11 explains:) For My thoughts are not, etc. My laws are not like the laws of man [lit. flesh and blood]. As for you, whoever confesses in judgment is found guilty, but, as for Me, whoever confesses and gives up his evil way, is granted clemency (Proverbs 28:13).
