But I will be merciful only if you stop your evil thoughts and deeds and start treating each other with justice;

“你们若实在改正行动作为，在人和邻舍中间诚然施行公平，

“你们若实在改正你们的所作所为，彼此诚然施行公平，

“你们若实在改正你们的所作所为，彼此诚然施行公平，

“‘如果你们真正改过自新，彼此公平相待，

如果你们实在改正自己的所作所为，人与人之间认真施行公正；

「你們若實在改正行動作為，在人和鄰舍中間誠然施行公平，

「你們若實在改正你們的所作所為，彼此誠然施行公平，

「你們若實在改正你們的所作所為，彼此誠然施行公平，

「『如果你們真正改過自新，彼此公平相待，

如果你們實在改正自己的所作所為，人與人之間認真施行公正；

『因為你們若徹底改善你們所行所作的，你們若在人與鄰舍之間真地施行公平，

爾若至終正爾行徑、及爾作為、且行公義於人、及其鄰中、

如爾改行易為、彼此行義、

如爾曹更正舉動作為、彼此行義、

If you really change your ways and your actions and deal with each other justly,

You must really change the way you live and act. Treat one another fairly.

“ For if you truly amend your ways and your deeds, if you truly execute justice one with another,

Instead, if you really correct your ways and your actions, if you act justly toward one another,

For if you truly amend your ways and your deeds, if you truly practice justice between a person and his neighbor,

“ For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if you thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbor,

For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor;

Instead, if you really change your ways and your actions, if you act justly toward one another,

For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;

You must change the way you have been living and do what is right. You must treat one another fairly.

For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if you thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor;

“ Concerning this Temple you are building, if you keep all my decrees and regulations and obey all my commands, I will fulfill through you the promise I made to your father, David.I will live among the Israelites and will never abandon my people Israel.”

“ O Israel,” says the Lord,“ if you wanted to return to me, you could. You could throw away your detestable idols and stray away no more.Then when you swear by my name, saying,‘ As surely as the Lord lives,’ you could do so with truth, justice, and righteousness. Then you would be a blessing to the nations of the world, and all people would come and praise my name.”

If you will only obey me, you will have plenty to eat.

This is what the Lord says: Be fair minded and just. Do what is right! Help those who have been robbed; rescue them from their oppressors. Quit your evil deeds! Do not mistreat foreigners, orphans, and widows. Stop murdering the innocent!

This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says:“‘ Even now, if you quit your evil ways, I will let you stay in your own land.

“ Help us,” they cry.“ Defend us against our enemies. Protect us from their relentless attack. Do not betray us now that we have escaped.

He grants loans without interest, stays away from injustice, is honest and fair when judging others,

He helps the poor, does not lend money at interest, and obeys all my regulations and decrees. Such a person will not die because of his father’s sins; he will surely live.

On that day Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang this song:

Among the residents of Jabesh gilead they found 400 young virgins who had never slept with a man, and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh in the land of Canaan.
