Why do you weigh out money for what is not food,
    and your labor for what cannot satisfy?[a]
Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good,
    and let your soul take pleasure in rich[b] food.
Extend your ear, and come to me!
    Listen so that[c] your soul may live,
and I will make[d] an everlasting covenant with[e] you,
    the enduring proofs of the mercies shown to[f] David.
Look! I made[g] him a witness to the peoples,
    a leader and a commander for the peoples.
