Looked

The Lord is in His holy temple; the Lord’s

throne is in heaven;

His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men.

The Lord

looks from heaven;

He sees all the sons of men;

For He looked down from His holy height;

From heaven the Lord gazed upon the earth,

For My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from My face, nor is their iniquity concealed from My eyes.

“Can a man hide himself in hiding places
So I do not see him?” declares the Lord.
“Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?” declares the Lord.

Any that

The

fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;

A good understanding have all those who do His commandments;
His praise endures forever.

So keep and do them, for that is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes and say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’

“And to man He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom;
And to depart from evil is understanding.’”

Seek

The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance, does not seek Him.
All his thoughts are, “There is no God.”

When You said, “Seek My face,” my heart said to You,
“Your face, O Lord, I shall seek.”

“As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a whole heart and 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.

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 forsake Him, He will forsake you.

But

there is some good in you, for you have removed the Asheroth from the land and you have set your heart to seek God.”

Seek the Lord while He may be found;

Call upon Him while He is near.

And is desperately sick;
Who can understand it?
