Isaiah 55:1-5
Legacy Standard Bible
Seek Yahweh While He May Be Found
55 “Ho! Every one who (A)thirsts, come to the waters;
And you who have (B)no [a]money come, buy and eat.
Come, buy (C)wine and milk
(D)Without money and without cost.
2 Why do you [b]spend money for what is (E)not bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and (F)eat what is good,
And (G)delight your soul in richness.
3 (H)Incline your ear and come to Me.
Listen, that your soul may (I)live;
And I will cut (J)an everlasting covenant with you,
According to the (K)faithful lovingkindnesses of David.
4 Behold, I have given (L)him as a witness to the peoples,
A (M)ruler and commander for the peoples.
5 Behold, you will call a (N)nation you do not know,
And a nation which knows you not will (O)run to you,
Because of Yahweh your God, even the Holy One of Israel;
For He has (P)adorned you with beautiful glory.”
