12For I knowH3045 your offensesH6588 are manyH7227 and your sinsH2403 are greatH6099, You who are 1hostileH6887 to the righteousH6662 and acceptH3947 bribesH3724, And 2turnH5186 awayH5186 the poorH34 from justice at the 3gateH8179.13ThereforeH3651 at 4suchH1931 a timeH6256 the prudentH7919 person 5keepsH1826 quietH1826, becauseH3588 it is an evilH7463 timeH6256.
14SeekH1875 goodH2896 and not evilH7451, soH4616 thatH4616 you may liveH2421; And soH3651 may the LordH3068 GodH430 of armiesH6635 be with you, 6JustH3512 asH3512 you have saidH559!157HateH8130 evilH7451, loveH157 goodH2896, And establishH3322 justiceH4941 in the 8gateH8179! PerhapsH194 the LordH3068 GodH430 of armiesH6635 9Will beH2603 graciousH2603 to the 10remnantH7611 of JosephH3130.
