Isaiah 55 is the fifty-fifth chapter of the Book of Isaiah in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. This book contains the prophecies attributed to the prophet Isaiah, and is one of the Books of the Prophets. This chapter concludes the section of the Book of Isaiah often referred to as "Deutero-Isaiah" (chapters 40-55). It dates from the time of the Israelites' exile in Babylon. Albert Barnes suggests that "there is not to be found in the Bible a chapter more replete with rich invitations than this", adding "nor perhaps is there anywhere to be found one of more exquisite beauty".
