| 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; and so the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you, just as you have said. | 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 roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. | But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream! |
