Then shall they call upon me, but I will not hear: they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me.

My son, forget not my law, but see that thine heart keep my commandments.

Therefore came I forth to meet thee, that I might seek thy face, and so I have found thee.

I am loving unto those that love me, and they that seek me early, shall find me.

Forsake ignorance, and ye shall live: and see that ye go in the way of understanding."

The ungodly is like a tempest that passeth over, and is no more seen; but the righteous remaineth sure forever.

It shall not help the wicked, though they lay all their hands together; but the seed of the righteous shall be preserved.

See that thou meddle not with a fool; and do as though thou hadst no knowledge.

A wise heart will seek after knowledge; but the mouths of fools meddle with foolishness.

Whoso hordeth up riches with the deceitfulness of his tongue: he is a fool, and like unto them that seek their own death.

See that thou rob not the poor because he is weak, and oppress not the simple in judgment;

Even among those that be ever at the wine, and seek excess.

Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, see thou forsake not; but go not into thy brother's house in time of thy trouble. Better is a friend at hand than a brother far off.

See that thou know the number of thy cattle thy self, and look well to thy flocks.

Wicked men discern not the thing that is right, but they that seek after the LORD, discuss all things.

The bloodthirsty hate the righteous, but the just seek his soul.

When the ungodly come up, wickedness increaseth; but the righteous shall see their fall.

Many there be that seek the prince's favour, but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD.
