Isaiah 55

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 55 of 66

1 Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the water; and he who has no silver, come buy grain and eat. Yes, come buy grain, wine and milk without silver and without price.

2 Why do you weigh out silver for that which is not bread, and your labor for what is not to satisfaction? Listening, listen to Me and eat the good; and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

3 Stretch your ear and come to Me; hear, and your soul shall live; and I will cut an everlasting covenant with you, the faithful mercies of David.
