12
Kylväkää itsellenne vanhurskauden kylvö, niin saatte leikata laupeuden leikkuun. Raivatkaa itsellenne uudispelto, silloin kun on aika etsiä Herraa, kunnes hän tulee ja antaa sataa, teille vanhurskautta.
Hosea 10:12
Seek
The meaning of "to seek" in the Bible is pretty straightforward, but there is a bit of nuance. In most cases "seek" or "look for" is connected with truth and knowledge, where "desire" is connected with love and affection. This makes sense; the idea of "seeking" is connected to sight, and sight corresponds to our intellect and capacity to understand truth.
