4¶ For thus saith the Lord unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:
5But seek not Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Beth-el shall come to nought.
6Seek the Lord, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Beth-el.
7Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,
8Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name:
9That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.
10They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
11Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them.
12For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.
13Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.
14Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.
15Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.

6Seeke the LORD, and ye shall liue, lest hee breake out like fire in the house of Ioseph and deuoure it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel,
7Ye who turne iudgment to wormwood, and leaue off righteousnesse in the earth:
8Seeke him that maketh the *seuen starres and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day darke with night: that *calleth for the waters of the Sea, and powreth them out vpon the face of the earth: the LORD is his Name.
9That strengtheneth the †spoiled against the strong: so that the spoiled shall come against the fortresse.
10They hate him that rebuketh in the gate: and they abhorre him that speaketh vprightly.
11Forasmuch therfore as your treading is vpon the poore, and ye take from him burdens of wheate, *ye haue built houses of hewen stone, but ye shall not dwell in them: yee haue planted †pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drinke wine of them.
12For I know your manifold transgressions, and your mighty sinnes: they afflict the iust, they take a ‖bribe, and they turne aside the poore in the gate from their right.

14Seeke good and not euill, that ye may liue: and so the LORD, the God of hosts shall be with you, as yee haue spoken.
