Looked

Yahweh is in his holy temple. Yahweh is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.

Yahweh looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men.

For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary. From heaven, Yahweh saw the earth;

For my eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from my face, neither is their iniquity concealed from my eyes.

Can any hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see him? says Yahweh. Don't I fill heaven and earth? says Yahweh.

Any that

The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. All those who do his work have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!

Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples, who shall hear all these statutes, and say, "Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people."

To man he said, 'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom. To depart from evil is understanding.'"

Seek

You, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Yahweh searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.

and he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, "Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin! Yahweh is with you, while you are with him; and if you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.

Nevertheless there are good things found in you, in that you have put away the Asheroth out of the land, and have set your heart to seek God."

Seek Yahweh while he may be found; call you on him while he is near:
