6. So seek God and live! You don’t want to end upwith nothing to show for your lifeBut a pile of ashes, a house burned to the ground.For God will send just such a fire,and the firefighters will show up too late.
13. Justice is a lost cause. Evil is epidemic.Decent people throw up their hands.Protest and rebuke are useless,a waste of breath.
14. Seek good and not evil—and live!You talk about God, the God-of-the-Angel-Armies,being your best friend.Well, live like it,and maybe it will happen.
15. Hate evil and love good,then work it out in the public square.Maybe God, the God-of-the-Angel-Armies,will notice your remnant and be gracious.
