1

Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

2

Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

3

Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Permissible Use (Moderation)

The verse uses "wine" metaphorically to represent spiritual blessings and sustenance, not literal alcoholic wine. The phrase "without money and without price" emphasizes the freeness of God's grace, not the permissible consumption of alcohol. The primary context is an invitation to spiritual nourishment, not a commentary on the use of alcoholic beverages.
