Why Spend Money On What Is Not Food And Labor For What Does Not Satisfy?

"Come here, all you who are thirsty, come to the water!

All who have no money, come!

Yes, without money and at no cost, buy and drink wine and milk.

Why spend money on what is not food and labor for what does not satisfy?  Listen to ME, and you will eat well; you will enjoy the richest of fare.

Incline your ear and come to ME; listen, that your soul may live.  I will make with you an everlasting Covenant, I will fulfill in you MY promises to David." - Isaiah 55:1-3 
(The book ends with a call to hope.  Are you not tired of the happiness you thought you would easily get in the place of exile?

GOD is the one who always gives first.  HE only hopes that we will open the door for HIM.  JESUS will offer us rest [Matthew 11:28]; HE will give us the bread of life [John 6] and will give HIMSELF as "the" friend [Revelation 3:20].)
