Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? Why do ye act thus? Can you give any explanation of such folly?

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? The less value there is in any religion, the more you have to pay for it.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? Why do you seek to get comfort for your souls where you will never get it?

Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? Why are you so busy about your ceremonies, your work mongering, your feelings, none of which can yield food for your soul?

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? All your care, your toil, your anguish of heart, are spent in a vain desire to get this world; and if you do get it, it is nothing more than bread, and bad bread, too; it cannot satisfy the cravings of your immortal spirit, why do you waste your time and money trying to get that which is not...

Incline your ear, and come unto me,.... The exhortations are repeated, to show the importance of them, how welcome these persons were to the Lord, and to his house, and his earnest and tender care and concern for them: hear, and your soul shall live; or, "that your soul may live (f)"; spiritually and eternally. There must be life before hearing;...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; Salvation does not come to men through the eye, but through the ear. Not what you see in the finery of the priest or the altar.

Simply to hear, — to incline the ear; yet that is the way of salvation: “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.” Alas! nowadays, the mass of men will not hear God’s message of mercy; they pass it by as if it were...
