Isaiah 55:2 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Money; all your time, and strength, and cost in seeking it. For that which is not bread; for those vain or foolish things which can never nourish or satisfy yea, such as worldly goods, or your own inventions, superstitions, and idolatries. Hearken diligently unto me; unto my doctrine and counsel. Eat ye that which is good; that which is truly, and solidly, and everlastingly good, and not such things which though they be called and seem to be good, yet really are evil, and most pernicious to men. In fatness; in this fat and most pleasant food of gospel enjoyments.

Isaiah 55:2

2 Wherefore do ye spenda 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.
