1 The Lord says,“Come, everyone who is thirsty—here is water!Come, you that have no money—buy grain and eat!Come! Buy wine and milk—it will cost you nothing!
2 Why spend money on what does not satisfy?Why spend your wages and still be hungry?Listen to me and do what I say,and you will enjoy the best food of all.
3 “Listen now, my people, and come to me;come to me, and you will have life!I will make a lasting covenant with youand give you the blessings I promised to David.
4 I made him a leader and commander of nations,and through him I showed them my power.
5 Now you will summon foreign nations;at one time they did not know you,but now they will come running to join you!I, the Lord your God, the holy God of Israel,will make all this happen;I will give you honor and glory.”
6 Turn to the Lord and pray to him,now that he is near.
7 Let the wicked leave their way of lifeand change their way of thinking.Let them turn to the Lord, our God;he is merciful and quick to forgive.
