Isaiah 55:8-9
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways.
As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Please help me to translate that bible quote to Ancient Greek .. :)

Thanks ..

This has already been translated into ancient Greek, more than 2,200 years ago, by a committee of 70 elders appointed by Ptolemy II of Egypt (The Greek bible they produced is called the Septuagint):
οὐ γάρ
εἰσιν αἱ βουλαί μου ὥσπερ αἱ βουλαὶ ὑμῶν οὐδὲ ὥσπερ αἱ ὁδοὶ
ὑμῶν αἱ ὁδοί μου, λέγει κύριος·
ἀλλ' ὡς ἀπέχει ὁ οὐρανὸς ἀπὸ
τῆς γῆς, οὕτως ἀπέχει ἡ ὁδός μου ἀπὸ τῶν ὁδῶν ὑμῶν καὶ τὰ
διανοήματα ὑμῶν ἀπὸ τῆς διανοίας μου.

In the future, Jeff, please read The Rules before posting (as advised), especially Rule 1.5 (12-word limit). Thanks!

We gave it to you, above (οὐ γάρ εἰσιν αἱ βουλαί μου ὥσπερ αἱ βουλαὶ ὑμῶν οὐδὲ ὥσπερ αἱ ὁδοὶ ὑμῶν αἱ ὁδοί μου, λέγει κύριος·).

Sorry, you must mean "How do I write 'Isaiah 55:8' in Greek?" It's Ἠσαΐας ν'ε', η' .
