6 Seek the Lord while He may be found;

Call upon Him while He is near.

6 Seek the Lord while He may be found;

Call upon Him while He is near.

1 "I permitted Myself to be sought by those who did not ask for Me;

I permitted Myself to be found by those who did not seek Me.

I said, ‘Here am I, here am I,’

To a nation which did not call on My name.

29 He gives strength to the weary,

And to the one who lacks might He increases power.

30 Though youths grow weary and tired,

And vigorous young men stumble badly,

31 Yet those who *wait for the Lord

Will gain new strength;

They will *mount up with wings like eagles,

They will run and not get tired,

They will walk and not become weary.

11 Seek the Lord and His strength;

Seek His face continually.

11 Seek the Lord and His strength;

Seek His face continually.

9 "As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him wholeheartedly and with a willing *mind; for the Lord searches all hearts, and understands every intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever.

14 and My people *who are called by My name humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

2 and he went out *to meet Asa and said to him, "Listen to me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: the Lord is with you when you are with Him. And if you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you abandon Him, He will abandon you.

1 Now the Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded, 2 and he went out *to meet Asa and said to him, "Listen to me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: the Lord is with you when you are with Him. And if you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you abandon Him, He will abandon you. 3 For many days Israel was without the true God and without a teaching priest and without the Law. 4 But in their distress they turned to the Lord God of Israel, and they sought Him, and He let them find Him. 5 In those times there was no peace for him who went out or him who came in, because many disturbances *afflicted all the inhabitants of the lands. 6 Nation was crushed by nation, and city by city, for God troubled them with every kind of distress. 7 But you, be strong and do not *lose courage, for there is a reward for your work."

8 Now when Asa heard these words and the *prophecy which Azariah the son of Oded the prophet spoke, he took courage and removed the abominable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and from the cities which he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim. He then restored the altar of the Lord which was in front of the porch of the Lord. 9 And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who resided with them, for many defected to him from Israel when they saw that the Lord his God was with him. 10 So they assembled at Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign. 11 They sacrificed to the Lord on that day seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep from the spoils they had brought. 12 They entered into the covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and soul; 13 and whoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel was to be put to death, whether small or great, man or woman. 14 Moreover, they made an oath to the Lord with a loud voice, with shouting, trumpets, and with horns. 15 All Judah rejoiced concerning the oath, for they had sworn with all their heart and had sought Him *earnestly, and He let them find Him. So the Lord gave them rest on every side.

16 He also removed Maacah, the mother of King Asa, from the position of queen mother, because she had made an abominable image *as an Asherah, and Asa cut down her abominable image, crushed it, and burned it at the brook Kidron. 17 But the high places were not removed from Israel; nevertheless Asa’s heart was blameless all his days. 18 He brought into the house of God the dedicated things of his father and his own dedicated things: silver, gold, and utensils. 19 And there was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign.

13 And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.

13 And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.

29 "Is My word not like fire?" declares the Lord, "and like a hammer which shatters a rock?

29 But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you search for Him with all your heart and all your soul.

2 Blessed are those who comply with His *testimonies,

And seek Him with all their heart.

2 Blessed are those who comply with His *testimonies,

And seek Him with all their heart.

10 With all my heart I have sought You;

Do not let me wander from Your commandments.

28 My soul *weeps because of grief;

Strengthen me according to Your word.

45 And I will walk *at liberty,

For I seek Your precepts.

4 Seek the Lord and His strength;

Seek His face continually.

4 Seek the Lord and His strength;

Seek His face continually.

8 When You said, "Seek My face," my heart said to You,

"I shall seek Your face, Lord."

1 God, You are my God; I shall be watching for You;

My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You,

In a dry and exhausted land where there is no water.

7 "*Ask, and it will be given to you; *seek, and you will find; *knock, and it will be opened to you.

9 "So I say to you, *ask, and it will be given to you; *seek, and you will find; *knock, and it will be opened to you.10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, it will be opened.

9 "So I say to you, *ask, and it will be given to you; *seek, and you will find; *knock, and it will be opened to you.

31 But *seek His kingdom, and these things will be *provided to you.

10 For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost."

10 And *those who know Your name will put their trust in You,

For You, Lord, have not abandoned those who seek You.

10 And *those who know Your name will put their trust in You,

For You, Lord, have not abandoned those who seek You.

4 I sought the Lord and He answered me,

And rescued me from all my fears.

10 The young lions do without and suffer hunger;

But they who seek the Lord will not lack any good thing.

4 Delight yourself in the Lord;

And He will give you the desires of your heart.

2 The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of mankind

To see if there are any who *understand,

Who seek God.

1 Lord, You have searched me and known me.

2 You know *when I sit down and *when I get up;

You understand my thought from far away.

5 He will receive a blessing from the Lord

And *righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 *This is the generation of those who seek Him,

Who seek Your face—even Jacob. Selah

4 For this is what the Lord says to the house of Israel:

"Seek Me so that you may live.

4 For this is what the Lord says to the house of Israel:

"Seek Me so that you may live.

14 Seek good and not evil, so that you may live;

And so may the Lord God of armies be with you,

Just as you have said!

16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner *self,

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might.

11 strengthened with all power, according to *His glorious might, *for the attaining of all perseverance and *patience; joyously

7 For God has not given us a spirit of *timidity, but of power and love and *discipline.

6 And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for the one who comes to God must believe that He exists, and that He proves to be One who rewards those who seek Him.

6 And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for the one who comes to God must believe that He exists, and that He proves to be One who rewards those who seek Him.

8 but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and Samaria, and as far as the remotest part of the earth."

12 May the Lord reward your *work, and may your wages be full from the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge."

6 And the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon him, so that he tore it apart as one tears apart a young goat, though he had nothing in his hand; but he did not tell his father or mother what he had done.

28 Then Samson called to the Lord and said, "Lord *God, please remember me and please strengthen me just this time, O God, that I may at once take vengeance on the Philistines for my two eyes."

8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord

Than to trust in people.

9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord

Than to trust in noblemen.

22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing

And obtains favor from the Lord.

14 Know that wisdom is the same for your soul;

If you find it, then there will be a *future,

And your hope will not be cut off.
