Ezekiel 38:10

You shall seek me, and find me, when you search for me with all your heart.

“Let your heart therefore be perfect with Yahweh our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as it is today.”

But Yahweh said to Samuel, “Don’t look on his face, or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for I don’t see as man sees. For man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart.”

and he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, “Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin! Yahweh is with you, while you are with him; and if you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.

God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

I will give them a heart to know me, that I am Yahweh. They will be my people, and I will be their God; for they will return to me with their whole heart.

The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from Yahweh.

A man’s heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps.

Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.

Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you.

“I, Yahweh, search the mind. I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.”

“Ah Lord Yahweh! Behold, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for you.

Looking at them, Jesus said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

They will no longer each teach his neighbor, and every man teach his brother, saying, ‘Know Yahweh;’ for they will all know me, from their least to their greatest,” says Yahweh: “for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”

Hear Yahweh’s word, you children of Israel; for Yahweh has a charge against the inhabitants of the land: “Indeed there is no truth, nor goodness, nor knowledge of God in the land.

Is anything too hard for Yahweh? At the set time I will return to you, when the season comes round, and Sarah will have a son.”

But let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am Yahweh who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness in the earth, for I delight in these things,” says Yahweh.

But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”

Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

But he stands alone, and who can oppose him? What his soul desires, even that he does.

In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness. I didn’t say to the offspring of Jacob, ‘Seek me in vain.’ I, Yahweh, speak righteousness. I declare things that are right.

Seek Yahweh while he may be found. Call on him while he is near.

He judged the cause of the poor and needy; so it was well, then. Wasn’t this to know me?” says Yahweh.

This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.

Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of man’s heart was continually only evil.

As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to save many people alive, as is happening today.

Yah is my strength and song. He has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will praise him; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

“ ‘You shall not give any of your children as a sacrifice to Molech. You shall not profane the name of your God. I am Yahweh.

It will happen, when many evils and troubles have come on them, that this song will testify before them as a witness; for it will not be forgotten out of the mouths of their descendants; for I know their ways and what they are doing today, before I have brought them into the land which I promised them.”

Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, “If you are returning to Yahweh with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and direct your hearts to Yahweh, and serve him only; and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.”

then hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and forgive, and act, and give to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know (for you, even you only, know the hearts of all the children of men);

But I know your sitting down, your going out, your coming in, and your raging against me.

“Remember now, Yahweh, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, and walked in all the way of David his father, and didn’t turn away to the right hand or to the left.

Now set your heart and your soul to follow Yahweh your God. Arise therefore, and build the sanctuary of Yahweh God, to bring the ark of Yahweh’s covenant and the holy vessels of God into the house that is to be built for Yahweh’s name.”

Then the people rejoiced, because they offered willingly, because with a perfect heart they offered willingly to Yahweh; and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.

He uncovers deep things out of darkness, and brings out to light the shadow of death.

Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous God.

Yahweh, you have searched me, and you know me.

For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.

I declare the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done. I say: My counsel will stand, and I will do all that I please.

“For my people are foolish. They don’t know me. They are foolish children, and they have no understanding. They are skillful in doing evil, but they don’t know how to do good.”

They built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through fire to Molech, which I didn’t command them. It didn’t even come into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.”

Therefore don’t be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed; and hidden that will not be known.

For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed; nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.

Satan entered into Judas, who was also called Iscariot, who was counted with the twelve.

Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.

in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.

each man’s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man’s work is.

For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ that each one may receive the things in the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

For it isn’t he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

We were also assigned an inheritance in him, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who does all things after the counsel of his will,

in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,

Don’t grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won’t be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door.

You, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Yahweh searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.

I know also, my God, that you try the heart, and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things. Now I have seen with joy your people, who are present here, offer willingly to you.

for their feet run to evil. They hurry to shed blood.

For they don’t sleep unless they do evil. Their sleep is taken away, unless they make someone fall.

For whoever finds me, finds life, and will obtain favor from Yahweh.

There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against Yahweh.

I have spread out my hands all day to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;

Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you, and break off your sins by righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor. Perhaps there may be a lengthening of your tranquility.”

Jesus, looking at them, said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God.”

Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him to them.

In this way God, being determined to show more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath,

For you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that.”

He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn’t abhor evil.

Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you didn’t believe in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.”

Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve.

Their inward thought is that their houses will endure forever, and their dwelling places to all generations. They name their lands after themselves.

You know my sitting down and my rising up. You perceive my thoughts from afar.

in whose heart is perverseness, who devises evil continually, who always sows discord.

a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are swift in running to mischief,

A good man shall obtain favor from Yahweh, but he will condemn a man of wicked plans.

There are many plans in a man’s heart, but Yahweh’s counsel will prevail.

However he doesn’t mean so, neither does his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off not a few nations.

In time of security he will come even on the fattest places of the province. He will do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers. He will scatter among them prey, plunder, and substance. Yes, he will devise his plans against the strongholds, even for a time.

Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?

Immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you reason these things in your hearts?

For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,

During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him,

But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back part of the price of the land?

While you kept it, didn’t it remain your own? After it was sold, wasn’t it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You haven’t lied to men, but to God.”

But Peter asked her, “How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”

Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.

These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
