I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.

With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.

If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;

Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children.

Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.

I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.

He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
