הוֹי כׇּל־צָמֵא לְכוּ לַמַּיִם וַאֲשֶׁר אֵֽין־לוֹ כָּסֶף לְכוּ שִׁבְרוּ וֶאֱכֹלוּ וּלְכוּ שִׁבְרוּ בְּלוֹא־כֶסֶף וּבְלוֹא מְחִיר יַיִן וְחָלָֽב׃

Ho, every one that thirsts, come to the water, and he that has no money; come, buy, and eat; come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

לָמָּה תִשְׁקְלוּ־כֶסֶף בְּלוֹא־לֶחֶם וִיגִיעֲכֶם בְּלוֹא לְשׇׂבְעָה שִׁמְעוּ שָׁמוֹעַ אֵלַי וְאִכְלוּ־טוֹב וְתִתְעַנַּג בַּדֶּשֶׁן נַפְשְׁכֶֽם׃

הַטּוּ אׇזְנְכֶם וּלְכוּ אֵלַי שִׁמְעוּ וּתְחִי נַפְשְׁכֶם וְאֶכְרְתָה לָכֶם בְּרִית עוֹלָם חַֽסְדֵי דָוִד הַנֶּאֱמָנִֽים׃

Incline your ear, and come to me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure loving promises of David.
