1 THE OPEN INVITATION OF YAH VEH Ho, every one who thirsts! Come to the waters! And he who has no silver, come, market for kernels, and eat; yes, come, market for kernels, wine and milk - without silver and without price.
2 Why weigh silver for what is not bread? And labor for what satisfies not? In hearkening, hearken to me, and eat what is good, that your soul delight itself in fatness.
3 Spread your ear, and come to me; hear, and your soul lives; and I cut an eternal covenant with you - the trustworthy mercies of David.
4 Behold, I give him - a witness to the nations - eminent and misvaher to the nations.
5 Behold, you call a goyim whom you know not, and goyim whom know you not run to you because of Yah Veh your Elohim, and for the Holy One of Yisra El; for he adorns you.
6 Seek Yah Veh while he is to be found; call on him while he is near:
7 the wicked forsake his way; and the man of mischief, his fabrications: and he returns to Yah Veh, and he mercies him; and to our Elohim, for he abounds to forgive.
8 For neither are my fabrications your fabrications nor your ways my ways - an oracle of Yah Veh.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth thus are my ways higher than your ways - and my fabrications than your fabrications.
10 For as the downpour and the snow descend from the heavens, and returns not - but saturates the earth and births and sprouts - to give seed to the seeder and bread to the eater:
11 thus becomes my word that comes from my mouth: it returns not to me void but works what I desire; and it prospers whereto I send it.
12 For you go forth with cheerfulness and lead forth with shalom: the mountains and the hills break forth into shouting at your face; and all the trees of the field clap their palms.
13 Instead of the thorn, the fir tree ascends, and instead of the brier, the myrtle tree ascends: and it becomes to Yah Veh for a name, for an eternal sign, not cut off.
