“ 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.

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。

「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.

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.

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 know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law. Don’t fear the reproach of men, and don’t be dismayed at their insults.

Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,

For judgment will return to righteousness. All the upright in heart shall follow it.

“ Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he. I am the first. I am also the last.

God said to Abraham,“ As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name will be Sarah.I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her. Yes, I will bless her, and she will be a mother of nations. Kings of peoples will come from her.”Then Abraham fell on his face, and laughed, and said in his heart,“ Will a child be born to him who is one hundred years old? Will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth?”

Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

The way of the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, but he loves him who follows after righteousness.

So then, let’s follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.

What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn’t follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn’t arrive at the law of righteousness.Why? Because they didn’t seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone;

Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called“ uncircumcision” by that which is called“ circumcision”( in the flesh, made by hands),that you were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.

Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.Seek Yahweh and his strength. Seek his face forever more.

Seek Yahweh, and you will live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour, and there be no one to quench it in Bethel.

Seek Yahweh while he may be found. Call on him while he is near.

Brothers, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do: forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before,

This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek your face— even Jacob. Selah.

“ Listen to me, house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, that have been carried from their birth, that have been carried from the womb.Even to old age I am he, and even to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear. Yes, I will carry, and will deliver.

I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness. I didn’t say to the offspring of Jacob,‘ Seek me in vain.’ I, Yahweh, speak righteousness. I declare things that are right.

But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.

“ Listen to me, my people; and hear me, my nation, for a law will go out from me, and I will establish my justice for a light to the peoples.

Why do you spend money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which doesn’t satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in richness.Turn your ear, and come to me. Hear, and your soul will live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

He who follows after righteousness and kindness finds life, righteousness, and honor.

Seek Yahweh, all you humble of the land, who have kept his ordinances. Seek righteousness. Seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden in the day of Yahweh’s anger.
