“ 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.

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 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 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, A people in whose heart is My Law; Do not fear the taunting of people, Nor be terrified of their abuses.

Pursue peace with all people, and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.

For judgment will again be righteous, And all the upright in heart will follow it.

“ Listen to Me, Jacob, Israel whom I called; I am He, I am the first, I am also the last.

Then God said to Abraham,“ As for your wife Sarai, you shall not call her by the name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.I will bless her, and indeed I will give you a son by her. Then I will bless her, and she shall 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 a man a hundred years old? And will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth to a child?”

Now flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.

The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, But He loves the one who pursues righteousness.

So then we pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another.

What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, attained righteousness, but the righteousness that is by faith;however, Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law.Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as though they could by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,

Therefore remember that previously you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called“ Uncircumcision” by the so called“ Circumcision” which is performed in the flesh by human hands—remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the people of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided to you.

“ Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.

Boast in His holy name; May the heart of those who seek the Lord be joyful.Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face continually.

Seek the Lord so that you may live, Or He will break through like a fire, house of Joseph, And it will consume with no one to extinguish it for Bethel,

Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near.

Brothers and sisters, I do not regard myself as having taken hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead,

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, You who have been carried by Me from birth And have been carried from the womb;Even to your old age I will be the same, And even to your graying years I will carry you! I have done it, and I will bear you; And I will carry you and I will save you.

I have not spoken in secret, In some dark land; I did not say to the offspring of Jacob,‘ Seek Me in a wasteland’; I, the Lord, speak righteousness, Declaring things that are right.

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

“ Pay attention to Me, My people, And listen to Me, My nation; For a law will go out from Me, And I will bring My justice as a light of the peoples.

Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And delight yourself in abundance.Incline your ear and come to Me. Listen, that you may live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you, According to the faithful mercies shown to David.

One who pursues righteousness and loyalty Finds life, righteousness, and honor.

Seek the Lord, All you humble of the earth Who have practiced His ordinances; Seek righteousness, seek humility. Perhaps you will remain hidden On the day of the Lord’s anger.
