An Invitation to Abundant Life

55 “Ho! aEveryone who thirsts,

Come to the waters;

And you who have no money,

bCome, buy and eat.

Yes, come, buy wine and milk

Without money and without price.

2 Why do you 1spend money for what is not bread,

And your wages for what does not satisfy?

Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,

And let your soul delight itself in abundance.

3 Incline your ear, and ccome to Me.

Hear, and your soul shall live;

dAnd I will make an everlasting covenant with you—

The esure mercies of David.

4 Indeed I have given him as fa witness to the people,

gA leader and commander for the people.

5 hSurely you shall call a nation you do not know,

iAnd nations who do not know you shall run to you,

Because of the Lord your God,

And the Holy One of Israel;

jFor He has glorified you.”

6 kSeek the Lord while He may be lfound,

Call upon Him while He is near.

7 mLet the 2wicked forsake his way,

And the unrighteous man nhis thoughts;

Let him return to the Lord,

oAnd He will have mercy on him;

And to our God,

For He will abundantly pardon.
