17 I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me.

Proverbs 2:1-8

1 My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you,

4 if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures;

5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.

6 For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;

7 he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity,

8 guarding the paths of justice and preserving the way of his saints.

3 For a long time Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law;

4 but when in their distress they turned to the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them.

Isaiah 55:1-6

1 "Ho, every one who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

2 Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Hearken diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in fatness.
