Seek God and Live

For the Lord says to the house of Israel:

Seek Me and live!(A)
Do not seek Bethel(B)
or go to Gilgal(C)
or journey to Beer-sheba,(D)
for Gilgal will certainly go into exile,
and Bethel will come to nothing.
Seek Yahweh(E) and live,
or He will spread like fire(F)
throughout the house of Joseph;
it will consume everything,
with no one at Bethel to extinguish it.(G)
Those who turn justice into wormwood(H)
throw righteousness to the ground.

The One who made the Pleiades and Orion,(I)
who turns darkness[a] into dawn(J)
and darkens day into night,(K)
who summons the waters of the sea(L)
and pours them out over the face of the earth(M)
Yahweh is His name.(N)
