Listen to Me, you who pursue righteousness, you who seek the Lord: Look to the rock from which you were cut, and to the quarry from which you were dug.

你们这追求公义、寻求耶和华的，当听我言！你们要追想被凿而出的磐石，被挖而出的岩穴。

追求公义、寻求耶和华的人哪，当听从我！你们要追想自己是从哪块磐石凿出，从哪个岩穴挖掘而来；

追求公义、寻求耶和华的人哪，当听从我！你们要追想自己是从哪块磐石凿出，从哪个岩穴挖掘而来；

耶和华说：“追求公义、寻求我的人啊，听我说。你们要追想那磐石，你们是从那里被凿出来的；你们要追想那岩穴，你们是从那里被挖出来的。

追求公义、寻求耶和华的啊！你们要听我的话。你们要瞻仰那磐石，你们就是从其上凿出来的；你们要瞻仰那采石坑，你们就是从其中挖出来的。

“你们这些追求公义、寻求耶和华的人哪，要听我的话！你们要仰望那磐石，你们是从其上凿出来的；你们要仰望那岩穴，你们是从其中挖出来的。

你們這追求公義、尋求耶和華的，當聽我言！你們要追想被鑿而出的磐石，被挖而出的巖穴。

追求公義、尋求耶和華的人哪，當聽從我！你們要追想自己是從哪塊磐石鑿出，從哪個巖穴挖掘而來；

追求公義、尋求耶和華的人哪，當聽從我！你們要追想自己是從哪塊磐石鑿出，從哪個巖穴挖掘而來；

耶和華說：「追求公義、尋求我的人啊，聽我說。你們要追想那磐石，你們是從那裡被鑿出來的；你們要追想那岩穴，你們是從那裡被挖出來的。

追求公義、尋求耶和華的啊！你們要聽我的話。你們要瞻仰那磐石，你們就是從其上鑿出來的；你們要瞻仰那採石坑，你們就是從其中挖出來的。

「你們這些追求公義、尋求耶和華的人哪，要聽我的話！你們要仰望那磐石，你們是從其上鑿出來的；你們要仰望那巖穴，你們是從其中挖出來的。

凡爾逐義、求耶和華者、尚其聽予、爾所被鑿而出之磐、被掘而出之坎、當追思焉、

凡從善之人、崇事我耶和華者、宜聽予言、磐出於礦、泥出於坎、爾亦如是、當追思焉。

爾曹從善者、尋求主者、宜聽我言、當追思爾所從鑿之磐、所從掘之石、

“ Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness and who seek the Lord: Look to the rock from which you were cut and to the quarry from which you were hewn;

The Lord says,“ Listen to me, you who want to do what is right. Pay attention, you who look to me. Consider the rock you were cut out of. Think about the rock pit you were dug from.

“ Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness, you who seek the Lord: look to the rock from which you were hewn, and to the quarry from which you were dug.

“ Listen to me, all who hope for deliverance— all who seek the Lord! Consider the rock from which you were cut, the quarry from which you were mined.

Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness, you who seek the LORD: Look to the rock from which you were cut, and to the quarry from which you were dug.

“ Listen to Me, you who pursue righteousness, Who seek the Lord: Look to the rock from which you were cut, And to the quarry from which you were dug.

“ Listen to Me, you who follow after righteousness, You who seek the Lord: Look to the rock from which you were hewn, And to the hole of the pit from which you were dug.

Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek Jehovah: look unto the rock whence ye were hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye were digged.

Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock[ whence] ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit[ whence] ye are digged.

“ Listen to me, you who pursue godliness, who seek the LORD! Look at the rock from which you were chiseled, at the quarry from which you were dug!

“ Listen to me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek Yahweh. Look to the rock you were cut from, and to the quarry you were dug from.

Listen to Me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is My instruction: do not fear disgrace by men, and do not be shattered by their taunts.

Pursue peace with everyone, and holiness— without it no one will see the Lord.

for justice will again be righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.

“ Listen to Me, Jacob, and Israel, the one called by Me: I am He; I am the first, I am also the last.

God said to Abraham,“ As for your wife Sarai, do not call her Sarai, for Sarah will be her name.I will bless her; indeed, I will give you a son by her. I will bless her, and she will produce nations; kings of peoples will come from her.”Abraham fell facedown. Then he laughed and said to himself,“ Can a child be born to a hundred-year-old man? Can Sarah, a ninety-year-old woman, give birth?”

Flee from youthful passions, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.

The Lord detests the way of the wicked, but He loves the one who pursues righteousness.

So then, we must pursue what promotes peace and what builds up one another.

What should we say then? Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained righteousness— namely the righteousness that comes from faith.But Israel, pursuing the law for righteousness, has not achieved the righteousness of the law.Why is that? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone.

So then, remember that at one time you were Gentiles in the flesh— called“ the uncircumcised” by those called“ the circumcised,” which is done in the flesh by human hands.At that time you were without the Messiah, excluded from the citizenship of Israel, and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you.

Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness are blessed, for they will be filled.

Honor His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.Search for the Lord and for His strength; seek His face always.

Seek Yahweh and live, or He will spread like fire throughout the house of Joseph; it will consume everything, with no one at Bethel to extinguish it.

Seek the Lord while He may be found; call to Him while He is near.

Brothers, I do not consider myself to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and reaching forward to what is ahead,

Such is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob. Selah

“ Listen to Me, house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been sustained from the womb, carried along since birth.I will be the same until your old age, and I will bear you up when you turn gray. I have made you, and I will carry you; I will bear and save you.

I have not spoken in secret, somewhere in a land of darkness. I did not say to the descendants of Jacob: Seek Me in a wasteland. I, Yahweh, speak truthfully; I say what is right.

But you, man of God, run from these things, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness.

Pay attention to Me, My people, and listen to Me, My nation; for instruction will come from Me, and My justice for a light to the nations. I will bring it about quickly.

Why do you spend money on what is not food, and your wages on what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and you will enjoy the choicest of foods.Pay attention and come to Me; listen, so that you will live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the promises assured to David.

The one who pursues righteousness and faithful love will find life, righteousness, and honor.

Seek the Lord, all you humble of the earth, who carry out what He commands. Seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you will be concealed on the day of the Lord’s anger.
