Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 4. - The more formal proof that Israel has merited her punishment here begins. In calling her to repentance the prophet contrasts God's requirements with her actual conduct. Seek ye me, and ye shall live. Two imperatives: "Seek me, and (so) live;" duty and its reward. "Seek me in the appointed way, and ye shall be saved from destruction" (comp. Genesis 42:18).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(4) Seek . . . live.--Search after God is rewarded by finding Him, and this is life in the highest sense.
