| For thus saith the Lord unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live. | For thus says the Lord to the house of 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 and not evil, that you may live; and so the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you, just as you have said. |
| But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream. | But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. |
