2:13 Be sure of this! The Lord who commands armies has decreed:
The nations’ efforts will go up in smoke;
their exhausting work will be for nothing. 1
44:20 He feeds on ashes; 2
his deceived mind misleads him.
He cannot rescue himself,
nor does he say, ‘Is this not a false god I hold in my right hand?’ 3
55:2 Why pay money for something that will not nourish you? 4
Why spend 5 your hard-earned money 6 on something that will not satisfy?
Listen carefully 7 to me and eat what is nourishing! 8
Enjoy fine food! 9
