Isaiah 55:1-3
International Standard Version
An Invitation to Life
55 “Come, everyone who is thirsty,
come to the waters!
Also, you that have no money, come,
buy, and eat!
Come! Buy[a] wine and milk
without money and without price.
2 Why spend your money on what is not bread,
and your labor on what does not satisfy?[b]
Listen carefully to me,
and eat what is good,
and let your soul delight itself in rich food.
3 Pay attention[c] to me,
come to me;
and[d] listen, so that you may live;
then I’ll make[e] an everlasting covenant with you,
as promised by[f] my faithful, sure love for David.
