Inquire


Sow for yourselves according to righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God); reap according to mercy and loving-kindness. Break up your uncultivated ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, to inquire for and of Him, and to require His favor, till He comes and teaches you righteousness and rains His righteous gift of salvation upon you.

For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel: Seek Me [inquire for and of Me and require Me as you require food] and you shall live!

Seek (inquire for and require) good and not evil that you may live, and so the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you.

When they had placed them in the center, they began to inquire, "By what power, or in what name, have you done this?"

And you, do not seek [by meditating and reasoning to inquire into] what you are to eat and what you are to drink; nor be of anxious (troubled) mind [ unsettled, excited, worried, and in suspense]; For all the pagan world is [greedily] seeking these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

Yes, many people and strong nations shall come to Jerusalem to seek, inquire of, and require [to fill their own urgent need] the Lord of hosts and to pray to the Lord for His favor.

Hosea 10:12 Amos 5:4 Amos 5:14 Acts 4:7 Luke 12:29 Zechariah 8:22

Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul, and forget not [one of] all His benefits. Ps 104:2
