If you ·obey [seek] him, you will find him, but if you ·leave [abandon; forsake] him, he will ·leave [abandon; forsake] you. ³ For a long time Israel was without the true God and without a priest to ·teach [instruct] them and without the ·teachings [instructions; laws]. ⁴ But ·when they were in trouble [in their distress], they turned to the Lord, the God of Israel.
