Yeshayah 55:1-7 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. Come, kol tzameh (all ye who are thirsty), come ye to the mayim and he that hath no kesef; come ye, buy, and eat; yes, come, buy yayin and cholov without kesef and without mekhir (price, cost).

2. Why do ye spend kesef for that which is not lechem? And your labor for that which satisfieth not? Pay heed diligently unto Me, and eat ye that which is tov, and let your nefesh delight itself in deshen (the best food, the fat of the land).

3. Incline your ozen, and come unto Me; hear, and your nefesh shall live; and I will make with you a Brit Olam, even the chasdei Dovid hane'emanim [see Ac 13:34 OJBC].

4. See, I have given him [Moshiach, Ac 13:34 OJAC] for an ed l'ummim (witness to the Nations), a Nagid and Metzavveh (commander) for the Nations.

5. Behold, thou shalt summon a Goy (People) that thou knowest not, and Goy that knew not thee shall run unto thee l'ma'an (for the sake of) Hashem Eloheicha and for Kadosh Yisroel; for He hath glorified thee.

6. Seek ye Hashem while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is karov (near);

7. Let the rasha forsake his derech, and the ish aven his machshevot; and let him return unto Hashem, and He will have rachamim upon him; and to Eloheinu, for He will abundantly pardon.
