Yahweh continues speaking to the people of Jerusalem.
# Why do you weigh out ... bread, and why do you labor ... satisfy?
Yahweh asks these questions to rebuke the people. He speaks of the people seeking happiness apart from Yahweh as if they were purchasing things to eat that were not food and working for things that could not satisfy them.
