2 Why spend your money for what is not bread;your wages for what does not satisfy?Only listen to me, and you shall eat well,you shall delight in rich fare.
3 Pay attention and come to me;listen, that you may have life.I will make with you an everlasting covenant,the steadfast loyalty promised to David.
4 As I made him a witness to peoples,a leader and commander of peoples,
5 So shall you summon a nation you knew not,and a nation that knew you not shall run to you,Because of the Lord, your God,the Holy One of Israel, who has glorified you.
6 Seek the Lord while he may be found,call upon him while he is near.
7 Let the wicked forsake their way,and sinners their thoughts;Let them turn to the Lord to find mercy;to our God, who is generous in forgiving.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts,nor are your ways my ways—oracle of the Lord.
