הוֹי כָּל-צָמֵא לְכוּ לַמַּיִם, וַאֲשֶׁר אֵין-לוֹ כָּסֶף; לְכוּ שִׁבְרוּ, וֶאֱכֹלוּ, וּלְכוּ שִׁבְרוּ בְּלוֹא-כֶסֶף וּבְלוֹא מְחִיר, יַיִן וְחָלָב. לָמָּה תִשְׁקְלוּ-כֶסֶף בְּלוֹא-לֶחֶם, וִיגִיעֲכֶם בְּלוֹא לְשָׂבְעָה; שִׁמְעוּ שָׁמוֹעַ אֵלַי וְאִכְלוּ-טוֹב, וְתִתְעַנַּג בַּדֶּשֶׁן נַפְשְׁכֶם. הַטּוּ אָזְנְכֶם וּלְכוּ אֵלַי, שִׁמְעוּ וּתְחִי נַפְשְׁכֶם; וְאֶכְרְתָה לָכֶם בְּרִית עוֹלָם, חַסְדֵי דָוִד הַנֶּאֱמָנִים. הֵן עֵד לְאוּמִּים, נְתַתִּיו; נָגִיד וּמְצַוֵּה, לְאֻמִּים. הֵן גּוֹי לֹא-תֵדַע תִּקְרָא, וְגוֹי לֹא-יְדָעוּךָ אֵלֶיךָ יָרוּצוּ--לְמַעַן יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ, וְלִקְדוֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי פֵאֲרָךְ
The boldfaced verse appeared in our list. The English Standard Version is as follows:“Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food. Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David. Behold, I made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for the peoples. Behold, you shall call a nation that you do not know, and a nation that did not know you shall run to you, because of the Lord your God, and of the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified you.
In this Torah, the ministers of our God, the Meshartei Eloheiu, the servants of our God, are identical to the priests of the Lord, the Cohanei Hashem. These are the former victims of anti-Semitism, of "robbery and wrong." "Instead of your shame there shall be a double portion; instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their lot; therefore in their land they shall possess a double portion; they shall have everlasting joy." The priestly role that once belonged to a clan, is now given to all who suffered from robbery and injustice, and their offspring. "I will faithfully give them their recompense, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them." When will this covenant be? "For as the earth brings forth its sprouts." The earth here is first of all the land of Israel, and this is to reveal the end: "So the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to sprout up before all the nations."Here is the same everlasting covenant. Now, the promises to David are the subject, and it is stated about Moshiach ben David, the leader of the victims of robbery and injustice: "Behold, I made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for the peoples." Note that Moshiach ben David is the follow-up of Moshiach ben Yosef, the "undercover agent" in the chapters Yeshaya 52. 53 and 54.
