“Seek the Lord [search diligently for Him and long for Him as your most essential need] so that you may live,
Or He will rush down like a [devouring] fire, O ^[a]house of Joseph,
And there will be no one to quench the flame for [idolatrous] ^[b]Bethel,
⁷ 
“For those [shall be consumed] who turn justice into wormwood (bitterness)
And cast righteousness down to the earth.”

⁸ 
He who made the [cluster of stars called] Pleiades and [the constellation] Orion,
Who turns deep darkness into the morning
And darkens the day into night,
Who calls for the waters of the sea
And pours them out on the surface of the earth,
The Lord is His name.
