Invitation to True Rewards

55 “Ho! Everyone thirsty, come to the waters!
    And whoever has no money, come, buy and eat,
and come, buy without money,
    wine and milk without price!
Why do you weigh out money for what is not food,
    and your labor for what cannot satisfy?[a]
Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good,
    and let your soul take pleasure in rich[b] food.
Extend your ear, and come to me!
    Listen so that[c] your soul may live,
and I will make[d] an everlasting covenant with[e] you,
    the enduring proofs of the mercies shown to[f] David.
