I saw this scripture Isaiah 55:6 in my vision, so I turned to my bible and carried on reading from V6 to v 13 .

Isaiah 55:6-13 NIV

Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near.   Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the Lord , and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.   "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord .   "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.   As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,   so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.   You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.   Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow. This will be for the Lord 's renown, for an everlasting sign, that will endure forever."

Insights:
What men perceive as wickedness is not God's perception and definition of wickedness.  For his thought and his way are higher than us, just like the heavens are higher than the earth. Heavens are not singular, but heavens!  All have fall short of glory, no one is righteous,  not even one. God's holiness is far beyond what men can comprehen and far higher standard than the most holiest man that we may think he was. One may think that he is faultless and that his conscious is clear,  but that does not make him innocent,  it is the Lord who judges him.

It's a joy for one to understand the Lord's chaisement,  it will bring forth joy and peace in one's spiritual life. Even the mountains and hills will sing and the trees will be clapping in joy for the repentance and return of the children of God.
