Isaiah 55:1-2
New International Reader's Version
The Lord Invites Thirsty People to Come to Him
55 “Come, all you who are thirsty.
Come and drink the water I offer to you.
You who do not have any money, come.
Buy and eat the grain I give you.
Come and buy wine and milk.
You will not have to pay anything for it.
2 Why spend money on what is not food?
Why work for what does not satisfy you?
Listen carefully to me.
Then you will eat what is good.
You will enjoy the richest food there is.

Call out to him while he’s still ready to help you.

And let them quit thinking evil thoughts.
Let them turn to the Lord.

Let them turn to our God.
He is always ready to forgive.

And your ways are not like my ways,”
