Isaiah 55:8

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

For my thoughts (are) not your thoughts, neither (are) your ways my ways, saith the Lord - referring to . You need not doubt His willingness 'abundantly to pardon' (cf. ); because, though "the wicked" man's "ways," and 'the unrighteous man's thoughts,' are so aggravated as to seem unpardonable. God's "thoughts" and "ways" in pardoning are not regulated by the proportion of man's ways and thoughts, as man's would be toward his fellow-man who offended him (cf. the "for," , "For thy name's sake, O Lord, pardon mine iniquity, for it is great;" Romans 5:19).
