For Yahweh says to the house of Israel: “Seek me, and you will live.” | For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel: If you seek me, you will survive. |
Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so Yahweh, the God of Armies, will be with you, as you say. | 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 roll on like rivers, and righteousness like a mighty stream. | Rather, let justice flow like a river, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. |
