Seek good and not evil, That you may live; So the Lord God of hosts will be with you, As you have spoken. | 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. |

But let justice run down like water, And righteousness like a mighty stream. | Rather, let justice flow like a river, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. |
