Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

  • A 12 For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right. 13 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.
    • B 14 Seek good,
      • C 14 and not evil,
        • D 14 that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.
      • C' 15 Hate the evil,
    • B' 15 and love the good,
  • A' 15 and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
