Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so the LORD, the God of Hosts, will be with you, as you say.

Hate evil, love good, and establish justice in the courts. It may be that the LORD, the God of Hosts, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph."

Those who put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;

All the sinners of my people will die by the sword, who say, 'Evil won't overtake nor meet us.'
