Holy Scripture

Isaiah 55:2

A church father on this verse
“Therefore, the goods that are promised to the soul are not riches, and bodily health, and worldly honors, which even the philosophers call indifferent, that is, neither good nor bad, and vary according to the quality of the users.… But if the soul is said to be good, then honesty and virtues are also said to be good.…”
Jerome, 5th c. — Commentary on Isaiah

2Wherefore do ye value at the price of money, and give your labor for that which will not satisfy? hearken to me, and ye shall eat that which is good, and your soul shall feast itself on good things.
