| For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel: If you seek me, you will survive. | This is what the Lord says to Israel: “Seek me and live.” |
| Seek good and not evil, so that you may live. Then the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you as you claim he is. | Seek good, not evil, that you may live. Then the Lord God Almighty will be with you, just as you say he is. |
|
| Rather, let justice flow like a river, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. | But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream! |
