'Seek' in the Bible

The Lord says this to the family of Israel: "Seek me so you can live!

Do not seek Bethel! Do not visit Gilgal! Do not journey down to Beer Sheba! For the people of Gilgal will certainly be carried into exile; and Bethel will become a place where disaster abounds."

Seek the Lord so you can live! Otherwise he will break out like fire against Joseph's family; the fire will consume and no one will be able to quench it and save Bethel.

Seek good and not evil so you can live! Then the Lord, the God who commands armies, just might be with you, as you claim he is.
