⁶ Happy are those whose heart's desire is for righteousness: for they will have their desire.

¹⁴ But whoever takes the water I give him will never be in need of drink again; for the water I give him will become in him a fountain of eternal life.

⁹ He gives its desire to the unresting soul, so that it is full of good things.

²⁷ Let your work not be for the food which comes to an end, but for the food which goes on for eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you, for on him has God the Father put his mark.

¹ <To the chief music-maker. Maschil. Of the sons of Korah.> Like the desire of the roe for the water-streams, so is my soul's desire for you, O God.

² My soul is dry for need of God, the living God; when may I come and see the face of God?

⁴⁸ I am the bread of life.

⁴⁹ Your fathers took the manna in the waste land--and they are dead.

⁵⁰ The bread which comes from heaven is such bread that a man may take it for food and never see death.

⁵¹ I am the living bread which has come from heaven: if any man takes this bread for food he will have life for ever: and more than this, the bread which I will give is my flesh which I will give for the life of the world.

⁵² Then the Jews had an angry discussion among themselves, saying, How is it possible for this man to give us his flesh for food?

⁵³ Then Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, If you do not take the flesh of the Son of man for food, and if you do not take his blood for drink, you have no life in you.

⁵⁴ He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink has eternal life: and I will take him up from the dead at the last day.

⁵⁵ My flesh is true food and my blood is true drink.

⁵⁶ He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink is in me and I in him.

⁵⁷ As the living Father has sent me, and I have life because of the Father, even so he who takes me for his food will have life because of me.

⁵⁸ This is the bread which has come down from heaven. It is not like the food which your fathers had: they took of the manna, and are dead; but he who takes this bread for food will have life for ever.

³⁷ On the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus got up and said in a loud voice, If any man is in need of drink let him come to me and I will give it to him.

¹ Ho! everyone in need, come to the waters, and he who has no strength, let him get food: come, get bread without money; wine and milk without price.

² Why do you give your money for what is not bread, and the fruit of your work for what will not give you pleasure? Give ear to me, so that your food may be good, and you may have the best in full measure.

³ Give ear, and come to me, take note with care, so that your souls may have life: and I will make an eternal agreement with you, even the certain mercies of David.

¹⁶ They will never be in need of food or drink: and they will never again be troubled by the burning heat of the sun:

²¹ Happy are you who are in need of food now: for you will be made full. Happy are you who are weeping now; for you will be glad.

³ For I will send water on the land needing it, and streams on the dry earth: I will let my spirit come down on your seed, and my blessing on your offspring.

⁶ And in this mountain will the Lord of armies make for all peoples a feast of good things, a feast of wines long stored, of good things sweet to the taste, of wines long kept and tested.

¹ <A Psalm. Of David. When he was in the waste land of Judah.> O God, you are my God; early will I make my search for you: my soul is dry for need of you, my flesh is wasted with desire for you, as a dry and burning land where no water is;

² To see your power and your glory, as I have seen you in the holy place.

¹¹ See, the days are coming, says the Lord God, when I will send times of great need on the land, not need of food or desire for water, but for hearing the words of the Lord.

¹² And they will go wandering from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, running here and there in search of the word of the Lord, and they will not get it.

¹³ In that day the fair virgins and the young men will be feeble from need of water.

⁵³ Those who had no food he made full of good things; the men of wealth he sent away with nothing in their hands;

¹⁹ To his worshippers, he will give their desire; their cry comes to his ears, and he gives them salvation.

²⁵ Unhappy are you who are full of food now: for you will be in need. Unhappy are you who are laughing now: for you will be crying in sorrow.

⁶ There are numbers who say, Who will do us any good? the light of his face has gone from us.

⁷ Lord, you have put joy in my heart, more than they have when their grain and their wine are increased.

¹³ For this cause says the Lord God, My servants will have food, but you will be in need of food: my servants will have drink, but you will be dry: my servants will have joy, but you will be shamed:

² The passion of my soul's desire is for the house of the Lord; my heart and my flesh are crying out for the living God.

⁴ Happy is the man of your selection, to whom you give a resting-place in your house; we will be full of the good things out of your holy place.

⁵ My soul will be comforted, as with good food; and my mouth will give you praise with songs of joy;

¹⁵ As for me, I will see your face in righteousness: when I am awake it will be joy enough for me to see your form.

¹⁷ The poor and crushed are looking for water where no water is, and their tongue is dry for need of it: I the Lord will give ear to their prayer, I the God of Israel will not give them up.

¹¹ So that you may take of the comfort flowing from her breasts, and be delighted with the full measure of her glory.

⁹ Saying to those who are in chains, Go free; to those who are in the dark, Come out into the light. They will get food by the way wherever they go, and have grass-lands on all the dry mountain-tops.

¹⁰ They will not be in need of food or drink, or be troubled by the heat or the sun: for he who has mercy on them will be their guide, taking them by the springs of water.

¹ I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride; to take my myrrh with my spice; my wax with my honey; my wine with my milk. Take meat, O friends; take wine, yes, be overcome with love.
