Why spend your money on what is not bread,
    and your labor on what does not satisfy?[a]
Listen carefully to me,
    and eat what is good,
        and let your soul delight itself in rich food.

    as promised by[e] my faithful, sure love for David.

“Look! I have made him a witness to the peoples,
    a leader and commander of the peoples.
