^14 (A)Seek good, and not evil,
    that you may live;
and so the Lord, ^(B)the God of hosts, will be with you,
    as you have said.
^15 (C)Hate evil, and love good,
    and establish justice ^(D)in the gate;
^(E)it may be that the Lord, the God of hosts,
    will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.

²⁰ Come, my people, enter your chambers,
    and shut your doors behind you;
hide yourselves ^(A)for a little while
    until the fury has passed by.
^21 (B)For behold, the Lord is coming out from his place
    to punish the inhabitants of ^(C)the earth for their iniquity,
and the earth will disclose the blood shed on it,
    and will no more cover its slain.

^6 (A)“Seek the Lord while he may be found;
    call upon him while he is near;
⁷ let the wicked forsake his way,
    and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him,
    and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
