Seek

Cursed are those who make use of ox-cords for pulling the evil thing, and the bands of a young ox for their sin!

Because you have said, We have made death our friend, and with the underworld we have made an agreement; when the overflowing waters come through they will not come near us; for we are looking to false words for help, taking cover in what is untrue:

Ho! uncontrolled children, says the Lord, who give effect to a purpose which is not mine, and who make an agreement, but not by my spirit, increasing their sin:

And you say, What knowledge has God? is he able to give decisions through the deep dark?

He says in his heart, God has no memory of me: his face is turned away; he will never see it.

They make themselves strong in an evil purpose; they make holes for secret nets; they say, Who will see it,

O Lord, you have knowledge of me, searching out all my secrets.

In what secret place may a man take cover without my seeing him? says the Lord. Is there any place in heaven or earth where I am not? says the Lord.

And he said to me, Son of man, have you seen what the responsible men of the children of Israel do in the dark, every man in his room of pictured images? for they say, The Lord does not see us; the Lord has gone away from the land.

Then he said to me, The sin of the children of Israel and Judah is very, very great, and the land is full of blood and the town full of evil ways: for they say, The Lord has gone away from the land, and the Lord does not see.

And it will come about at that time, that I will go searching through Jerusalem with lights; and I will send punishment on the men who have become like wine stored over-long, who say to themselves, The Lord will not do good and will not do evil.

And I will put her children to death; and all the churches will see that I am he who makes search into the secret thoughts and hearts of men: and I will give to every one of you the reward of your works.

And their works

Then there are those who are haters of the light, who have no knowledge of its ways, and do not go in them.

There is no dark place, and no thick cloud, in which the workers of evil may take cover.

At that time, when thousands of the people had come together, in such numbers that they were crushing one another, he said first to his disciples, Have nothing to do with the leaven of the Pharisees, which is deceit.

And this is the test by which men are judged: the light has come into the world and men have more love for the dark than for the light, because their acts are evil.

For this reason let there be no judging before the time, till the Lord comes, who will make clear the secret things of the dark, and the designs of the heart; and then will every man have his praise from God.

And we have given up the secret things of shame, not walking in false ways, and not making use of the word of God with deceit; but by the revelation of what is true, as before God, we have the approval of every man's sense of right and wrong.

Who seeth

For you had faith in your evil-doing; you said, No one sees me; by your wisdom and knowledge you have been turned out of the way: and you have said in your heart, I am, and there is no other.

See, hate is dropping from their lips; curses are on their tongues: they say, Who gives attention to it?

And they say, How will the Lord see this? is there knowledge in the Most High?

And they say, Jah will not see it, the God of Jacob will not give thought to it.

You have made the Lord tired with your words. And still you say, How have we made him tired? By your saying, Everyone who does evil is good in the eyes of the Lord, and he has delight in them; or, Where is God the judge?
