Why do you spend money for that which is not bread,
    and your labor for that which doesn’t satisfy?
Listen diligently to me, and eat that which is good,
    and let your soul delight itself in richness.
Turn your ear, and come to me.

Behold, I have given him for a witness to the peoples,
    a leader and commander to the peoples.
