Sic et non

“But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare" (Jer 29:7, RSV).
וְדִרְשׁוּ אֶת־שְׁלֹום הָעִיר אֲשֶׁר הִגְלֵיתִי אֶתְכֶם שָׁמָּה
וְהִתְפַּלְלוּ בַעֲדָהּ אֶל־יְהוָה
כִּי בִשְׁלֹומָהּ יִהְיֶה לָכֶם שָׁלֹום

“never seek their peace or prosperity" (Ezr 9:12, RSV).
וְלֹא־תִדְרְשׁוּ שְׁלֹםָם וְטֹובָתָם עַד־עֹולָם
