1-5. “Hey there! All who are thirsty,come to the water!Are you penniless?Come anyway—buy and eat!Come, buy your drinks, buy wine and milk.Buy without money—everything’s free!Why do you spend your money on junk food,your hard-earned cash on cotton candy?Listen to me, listen well: Eat only the best,fill yourself with only the finest.Pay attention, come close now,listen carefully to my life-giving, life-nourishing words.I’m making a lasting covenant commitment with you,the same that I made with David: sure, solid, enduring love.I set him up as a witness to the nations,made him a prince and leader of the nations,And now I’m doing it to you:You’ll summon nations you’ve never heard of,and nations who’ve never heard of youwill come running to youBecause of me, your God,because The Holy of Israel has honored you.”
12-13. “So you’ll go out in joy,you’ll be led into a whole and complete life.The mountains and hills will lead the parade,bursting with song.All the trees of the forest will join the procession,exuberant with applause.No more thistles, but giant sequoias,no more thornbushes, but stately pines—Monuments to me, to God,living and lasting evidence of God.”
