New Testament

Isaiah 55:1-8 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. All you who are thirsty,come to the water!You who have no money,come, buy grain and eat;Come, buy grain without money,wine and milk without cost!

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.
