⁴For this is what the LORD says to the house of Israel: ⁵Do not seek Bethel or go to Gilgal; ⁶Seek the LORD and live, ⁷There are those who turn justice into wormwood ⁸He who made the Pleiades and Orion, ⁹He flashes destruction on the strong, ¹⁰There are those who hate the one who reproves in the gate ¹¹Therefore, because you trample on the poor ¹²For I know that your transgressions are many ¹³Therefore, the prudent keep silent in such times, ¹⁴Seek good, not evil, ¹⁵Hate evil and love good;
