'Seek' in the Bible

“Then they will call upon me (Wisdom), but I will not answer;They will seek me eagerly but they will not find me,

If you seek skillful and godly wisdom as you would silverAnd search for her as you would hidden treasures;

“I love those who love me;And those who seek me early and diligently will find me.

Acquiring treasures by a lying tongueIs a fleeting vapor, the seeking and pursuit of death.

Those who linger long over wine,Those who go to taste mixed wine.

“They struck me, but I was not hurt!They beat me, but I did not feel it!When will I wake up?I will seek more wine.”

It is not good to eat much honey,Nor is it glorious to seek one’s own glory.

Evil men do not understand justice,But they who long for and seek the Lord understand it fully.

The bloodthirsty hate the blameless [because of his integrity],But the upright are concerned for his life.

Many seek the ruler’s favor,But justice for man comes from the Lord.
