For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel: “Seek me and live.” | Now this is what the Lord says to the family of Israel: “Come back to me and live!” |
Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you, as you have said. | Do what is good and run from evil so that you may live! Then the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies will be your helper, just as you have claimed. |
|
But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. | Instead, I want to see a mighty flood of justice, an endless river of righteous living. |
