'Pursues' in the Bible

True righteousness leads to life, but the one who pursues evil pursues it to his own death.

Calamity pursues sinners, but prosperity rewards the righteous.

All the relatives of a poor person hate him; how much more do his friends avoid him -- he pursues them with words, but they do not respond.

The one who pursues righteousness and love finds life, bounty, and honor.
