'Getting' in the Bible

Then King Ahaz cut away the frames of the basin stands [in the temple], and removed the basin from [each of] them; and he took down the [large] Sea from the bronze oxen which were under it, and put it on a plastered stone floor.

They wander around for food [to devour]And growl all night if they are not satisfied.

The mind of the prudent [always] acquires knowledge,And the ear of the wise [always] seeks knowledge.
