⁷ But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for ^[a]God does not see as man sees, since man looks at ^[b]the outward appearance, ^(A)but the Lord looks at the heart.”

²⁶ and ^(A)He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having ^(B)determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation, ²⁷ that they would seek God, if perhaps they might feel around for Him and find Him, ^(C)though He is not far from each one of us; ²⁸ for ^(D)in Him we live and move and ^[a]exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His descendants.’
