Isaiah 55:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 Wherefore do ye lay out silver, and not for bread? [a]and your labor without being satisfied? hearken diligently unto me, and eat that which is good, and let your soul delight in [b]fatness.
3 Incline your ears, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live, and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the [c]sure mercies of David.
4 Behold, I gave [d]him for a witness to the people, for a prince and a master unto the people.
