Ho, aevery one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters,

And he that hath no money;

bCome ye, cbuy, and eat;

Yea, come, buy bwine and milk dwithout money and without price.

2eWherefore do ye †spend money for that which is not bread?

And your labour ffor that which satisfieth not?

Hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good,

And let your soul gdelight itself in fatness.

3Incline your ear, and hcome unto me:

Hear, and iyour soul shall live;

And kI will make an everlasting covenant with you,

Even lthe sure mercies of mDavid.

4Behold, I have given mhim for na witness to the people,

A oleader and commander to the people.

5Behold, pthou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not,

And qnations that knew not thee shall run unto thee

Because of the Lord thy God,

And for rthe Holy One of Israel; rfor she hath glorified thee.

6tSeek ye the Lord while he may be found,

Call ye upon him while he is near:

7Let the wicked forsake his way,

And †the unrighteous man uhis thoughts:

And vlet him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him;

And to our God, for †he will abundantly wpardon.

Read in Logos
Isaiah 55:2: Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food.
