| For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel: “Seek Me and live.” | This is what the Lord says to Israel: “Seek me and live.” |
| 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, not evil, that you may live. Then the Lord God Almighty will be with you, just as you say he is. |
| But let justice run down like water, And righteousness like a mighty stream. | But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream! |
