“Seek the Lord, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Beth–el.”
The call to seek the LORD that you may live lest judgment break out among Israel like fire repeats the invitation to return with urgency. The fire imagery emphasizes the violent nature of impending judgment.
