Isaiah 55:2-3 Why do you spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which satisfies not? listen diligently to me… There are five things which that word doth denote. 1. A taking into our ears sounds, words, messages, reports, spoken unto us. 2. Sometimes to hear is the same with to understand. 3. Sometimes the same with to believe. 4. Sometimes to regard and approve. 5. Sometimes to obey, to follow what is said. (O. Sedgwick, B. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. |
