For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel: “Seek Me and live.” | For Yahweh says to the house of Israel: “Seek me, and you will 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, and not evil, that you may live; and so Yahweh, the God of Armies, will be with you, as you say. |
But let justice run down like water, And righteousness like a mighty stream. | But let justice roll on like rivers, and righteousness like a mighty stream. |
