Come, Everyone Who Thirsts!
A Readers’ Theatre Setting of Isaiah 5 5 :1 -5
One: Come, everyone who thirsts!
Come to the waters!
Two: You that have no money,
come, buy and eat!
One: Come, buy wine and milk for free—it won’t cost you a thing!
Two: Why do you spend your money on food that doesn’t nourish?
One: Why do you spend your hard-earned wages
on things that will never satisfy you?
Two: Listen carefully to Me,
and you will have good things to eat—
One: the very best food!
Two: Listen to my words carefully,
for if you do, you will have life.
One: I shall make an everlasting covenant with you,
to love you as faithfully as I loved David.
Two: I used him to display my power to the peoples of the world,
making him a leader of nations.
One: You will also call nations you do not know—
Two: they will come running to you!—
One: for I, the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel
have made you glorious!
