Pursues

Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed.

He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.

For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.

• Armies
• Prayer

And David inquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.

He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet.

As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.

The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.

Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.

• Fearful

The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

• House
• Potentate

But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

• Alliances

Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.

And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his neighbour unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime.

And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.

• Corrupt
• Character
• Gates

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.

• DAVID
• Decision
• Prayer

For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead. Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate. I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands. I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
