'Searching' in the Bible

But if in those lands you are turned again to the Lord your God, searching for him with all your heart and soul, he will not keep himself from you.

Give thought now to the days which are past, before your time, from the day when God first gave life to man on the earth, and searching from one end of heaven to the other, see if such a great thing as this has ever been, or if anything like it has been talked of in story.
