NET © Notes	¹tn Heb “for what is not food.” ²tn The interrogative particle and the verb “spend” are understood here by ellipsis (note the preceding line). ³tn Heb “your labor,” which stands by metonymy for that which one earns. ⁴tn The infinitive absolute follows the imperative and lends emphasis to the exhortation. ⁵tn Heb “good” (so NASB, NIV, NRSV). ⁶tn Heb “Let your appetite delight in fine food.” sn Nourishing, fine food here represents the blessings God freely offers. These include forgiveness, a new covenantal relationship with God, and national prominence (see vv. 3-6).
