God Gives “Food” That Really Satisfies

55 “All you people who are thirsty, come!
    Here is water for you to drink.
Don’t worry if you have no money.
    Come, eat and drink until you are full!
You don’t need money.
    The milk and wine are free.
Why waste your money on something that is not real food?
    Why should you work for something that does not really satisfy you?
Listen closely to me and you will eat what is good.
    You will enjoy the food that satisfies your soul.
Listen closely to what I say.
    Listen to me so that you will live.
I will make an agreement with you that will last forever.
    It will be an agreement you can trust, like the one I made with David—
    a promise to love him and be loyal to him forever.
