Explained connections
- The sure mercies of David
Isaiah invites all to an everlasting covenant, the faithful mercies promised to David. Paul uses it with Psalm 16 to argue that the resurrection is God keeping his Davidic promises, never to return to decay.
- Come to the waters, without price
Isaiah calls everyone who thirsts to come and drink, without money. The Bible's last invitation repeats it: whoever is thirsty, come; take the water of life freely.
