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.”

55 Hear, everyone who thirsts;
come to the waters;
and you who have no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without price.(A)

and your earnings for that which does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good,
and delight yourselves in rich food.(B)
3 Incline your ear, and come to me;
listen, so that you may live.
I will make with you an everlasting covenant,
my steadfast, sure love for David.(C)
4 See, I made him a witness to the peoples,
a leader and commander for the peoples.(D)
5 Now you shall call nations that you do not know,
and nations that do not know you shall run to you,
because of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel,
for he has glorified you.(E)
