(A)Seek Yahweh that you may live,
Lest He come mightily like a (B)fire, [a]O house of Joseph,
And it will consume with none to quench it for Bethel,
For those who overturn (C)justice into wormwood
And put righteousness down to the earth.”

He who made the (D)Pleiades and Orion
And (E)overturns the shadow of death into morning,
[b]Who also (F)darkens day into night,
Who (G)calls for the waters of the sea
And pours them out on the surface of the earth,
(H)Yahweh is His name.
