H to the waters and he that hath no

money come ye | buy and eat;

2 Yea, come, buy wine and milk || without money and without price. 3 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not | bread || and your labour for that which sat is fi eth | not?

4 Hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which ⚫ is good and let your soul de light it self in fatness.

5 Incline your ear, and come unto me || hear and your soul shall live;

6 And I will make an everlasting cove nant with you || even the | su remercies. of David.

7 Seck ye the Lord while He may be | found || call ye up on Him while He is near.

8 Let the wicked for | sake his way || and the unrighteous man his thoughts: 9 And let him return un to the Lord || and He will have mercy up on him: 10 And to our | God || for He will al bundant ly | pardon.

11 For my thoughts are not your thoughts neither are your ways ways saith the Lord.

15 So shall my word be that goeth forth | out of my mouth || it shall not re | turn un to me void;

16 But it shall accomplish that which I please || and it shall prosper in the thing where to I sent it.

17 For ye shall go out with | joy || and beled forth with peace:

18 The mountains and the hills shall break forth before you in to singing || and all the trees of the field shall | clap their | hands.

19 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree || and instead of the brier shall | Co me up the myrtle tree:

20 And it shall be to the Lord for a name | for an everlasting sign, that shall not be cut | off.
