3 This is what the Sovereign Lord says to Israel:

“Your city that marches out a thousand strong

will have only a hundred left;

your town that marches out a hundred strong

will have only ten left.”

4 This is what the Lord says to Israel:

“Seek me and live;

3 For thus saith the Lord God;

The city that went out by a thousand shall leave an hundred,

And that which went forth by an hundred shall leave ten,

To the house of Israel.

4 For thus saith the Lord unto the house of Israel,

Seek ye me, and ye shall live:

3 The Sovereign Lord says:

“When a city sends a thousand men to battle,

only a hundred will return.

When a town sends a hundred,

only ten will come back alive.”

4 Now this is what the Lord says to the family of Israel:

“Come back to me and live!

3 For thus says the Lord God:

“The city that goes out by a thousand

Shall have a hundred left,

And that which goes out by a hundred

Shall have ten left to the house of Israel.”

4 For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel:

“Seek Me and live;

3 This is what the Lord God says:

“If a thousand soldiers leave a city,

only a hundred will return;

if a hundred soldiers leave a city,

only ten will return.”

4 This is what the Lord says to the nation of Israel:

“Come to me and live.

3 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: The city that went forth a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went forth a hundred shall have ten left, to the house of Israel.

4 For thus saith Jehovah unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live;

3 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: The city that went forth a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went forth a hundred shall have ten left, for the house of Israel.

4 For thus saith Jehovah unto the house of Israel: Seek ye me, and ye shall live.

3 This is what the Almighty Lord says: 

The city that sends 1,000 troops off to war 

will have ⸤only⸥ 100 left. 

The one that sends 100 troops off to war 

will have ⸤only⸥ 10 left for the nation of Israel. 

4 This is what the Lord says to the nation of Israel: 

Search for me and live! 

3 For the Lord God says:

The city that marches out a thousand strong

will have only a hundred left,

and the one that marches out a hundred strong

will have only ten left in the house of Israel.

4 For the Lord says to the house of Israel:

Seek Me and live!

3 For thus says the Lord God:

The city that marched out a thousand

shall have a hundred left,

and that which marched out a hundred

shall have ten left.

4 For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel:

Seek me and live;

3 For thus says my Lord Yahweh, “The city that marches out with a thousand will only have a hundred left. And the one that marches out with a hundred will only have ten left for the house of Israel.” 4 For thus says Yahweh to the house of Israel, “Seek me so that you may live.”

3 The Lord and King says,

“A thousand soldiers will march out from a city in Israel.

But only a hundred will return.

A hundred soldiers will march out from a town.

But only ten will come back.”

4 The Lord speaks to the people of Israel. He says,

“Look to me and live.

3 For thus says the Lord God,

“The city which goes forth a thousand strong

Will have a hundred left,

And the one which goes forth a hundred strong

Will have ten left to the house of Israel.”

4 For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel,

“Seek Me that you may live.
