This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
not bread - (Hab 2:13). “Bread of deceit” (Pro 20:17). Contrast this with the “bread of life” (Joh 6:32, Joh 6:35; also Luk 14:16-20).
satisfieth not - (Ecc 1:8; Ecc 4:8).
hearken ... and eat - When two imperatives are joined, the second expresses the consequence of obeying the command in the first (Gen 42:18). By hearkening ye shall eat. So in Isa 55:1, “buy and eat.” By buying, and so making it your own, ye shall eat, that is, experimentally enjoy it (Joh 6:53). Compare the invitation (Pro 9:5, Pro 9:6; Mat 22:4).
fatness - (Psa 36:8; Psa 63:5).
