| 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. |
| 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.” |
|
| 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! |
| He who builds His layers in the sky, And has founded His strata in the earth; Who calls for the waters of the sea, And pours them out on the face of the earth— The Lord is His name. | He builds his lofty palace in the heavens and sets its foundation on the earth; he calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out over the face of the land— the Lord is his name. |
| Surely the Lord God does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. | Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets. |
