that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

俾其尋上帝、庶揣摩得之、然彼不遠我儕一人也、

欲人求主、庶揣摩得之、而主離我不遠、

欲其尋主、庶揣摩得之、然主實離我各人不遠、

俾知追求所天、庶幾冥心索摸、得識真主。實則天主之於人人、近在咫尺；

God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.

God did this so that people would seek him. And perhaps they would reach out for him and find him. They would find him even though he is not far from any of us.

that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us,

“ His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him— though he is not far from any one of us.

He did this so that they might seek God, and perhaps they might reach out and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

that they would seek God, if perhaps they might feel around for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;

so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;

that they should seek God, if haply they might feel after him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us:

He did this so they might seek God, and perhaps they might reach out and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us.

That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:

so that they would search for God and perhaps grope around for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”

For what great nation is there that has a god so near to them as Yahweh our God is whenever we call on him?

“ Am I a God at hand,” says Yahweh,“ and not a God afar off?Can anyone hide himself in secret places so that I can’t see him?” says Yahweh.“ Don’t I fill heaven and earth?” says Yahweh.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse.

that the rest of men may seek after the Lord; all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who does all these things.’

Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

Yahweh, you have searched me, and you know me.You know my sitting down and my rising up. You perceive my thoughts from afar.You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.For there is not a word on my tongue, but, behold, Yahweh, you know it altogether.You hem me in behind and before. You laid your hand on me.This knowledge is beyond me. It’s lofty. I can’t attain it.Where could I go from your Spirit? Or where could I flee from your presence?If I ascend up into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there!If I take the wings of the dawn, and settle in the uttermost parts of the sea,even there your hand will lead me, and your right hand will hold me.If I say,“ Surely the darkness will overwhelm me. The light around me will be night,”even the darkness doesn’t hide from you, but the night shines as the day. The darkness is like light to you.For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb.

The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.Day after day they pour out speech, and night after night they display knowledge.There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.Their voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.His going out is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends. There is nothing hidden from its heat.

But will God in very deed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain you; how much less this house that I have built!
