Proverbs 11:27

diligently seeketh … procureth … seeketh Three different Heb. words are used. The shades of meaning are given by R.V.: diligently seeketh(with A.V.) i.e. makes good his chief aim; seeketh, i.e. whether consciously or not, is really seeking "favour with God and man"; searcheth after, i.e. is busily employed in the pursuit of mischief.
