Isaiah 55:2 in Context — Isaiah 55
1 Ó todos vós que tendes sede, vinde às águas; e vós que não tendes dinheiro, vinde, comprai, e comei; vinde, comprai, sem dinheiro e sem preço, vinho e leite.
2 Por que gastais dinheiro naquilo que não é pão, e vosso trabalho naquilo que não pode trazer satisfação? Ouvi-me com atenção, e comei o que é bom, e vossa alma se deleite com a gordura.
3 Inclinai vossos ouvidos, e vinde a mim; ouvi, e vossa alma viverá; porque convosco farei um pacto eterno, [tal como] as firmes bondades prometidas a Davi.
4 Eis que eu o dei [para ser] testemunha aos povos, [como] príncipe e governante dos povos.
