Isaiah 55:1-3

1 Ho, everyone who is thirsty, come to the waters; and you that have no money, come, buy¹¹⁹⁸ wine and milk without money and at no cost. 2 Why spend your money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy?¹¹⁹⁹ Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in rich food. 3 Incline your ear, and come to me; and¹²⁰⁰ listen, so that you may live; and I will make¹²⁰¹ with you an everlasting covenant, my faithful, sure love for David.
