·Come to [Seek] the Lord and live,
    or he will ·move [sweep through; L rush] like fire against the ·descendants [L house] of Joseph.
The fire will ·burn [consume; devour] Bethel [4:4],
    and there will be no one to ·put it out [quench it].
You turn justice ·upside down [L into bitterness/or wormwood; C a bitter plant; 6:12],
    and you throw on the ground ·what is right [rightousness; justice].

·God is the one [L He] who made the constellations Pleiades and Orion;
    he changes darkness into the morning light,
    and the day into dark night.
He calls for the waters of the sea
    to pour out on the ·earth [L surface/face of the earth].
    The Lord is his name.
