8 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “after” →
Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD : but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.
It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make enquiry.
He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.
He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.
