“Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.”
The prophetic appeal 'Listen to me, you that pursue righteousness, you that seek the Lord' addresses the faithful remnant specifically, establishing an intimate communion with those who align themselves with divine purposes. The designation 'pursue righteousness' suggests active moral engagement rather than passive reception. This verse opens the section on comfort and restoration directed toward the committed faithful. The intimacy of address ('listen to me') suggests the prophet speaking as messenger of the divine friend.
