| For thus saith the Lord unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live. | This is what the Lord says to Israel: “Seek me and live.” |
| Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken. | Seek good, not evil, that you may live. Then the Lord God Almighty will be with you, just as you say he is. |
|
| But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream. | But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream! |
