โฮเชยา 5:5
Many thanks to Philip Pope for the permission to use his 2003 translation of the English King James Version Bible into Thai. Here's a link to the mission's website: www.thaipope.org
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.

The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms # 188
188. Internal Meaning of Hosea, Chapter 5
1-3 Those who represented the celestial things of the church and those who represented its spiritual and intellectual things, falsified and adulterated the truths of the Word. (3)
10-14 They no longer have any understanding of truth, but in place of truth they understand falsity. (3, 11)
15 Nevertheless there will be a new thing of the church. (11)
