Scriptures

¹⁹ I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.

¹⁹ I publicly proclaim bold promises. I do not whisper obscurities in some dark corner. I would not have told the people of Israel to seek me if I could not be found. I, the LORD, speak only what is true and declare only what is right.

¹⁹ "I have not spoken in secret, In some dark land; I did not say to the offspring of Jacob, ’Seek Me in a waste place’; I, the Lord, speak righteousness, Declaring things that are upright.

¹⁹ I have not spoken in secret, In a dark place of the earth; I did not say to the seed of Jacob, ’Seek Me in vain’; I, the Lord, speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
