Job 10:4

Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”

“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.”

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.

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);

“I watched until thrones were placed, and one who was ancient of days sat. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool. His throne was fiery flames, and its wheels burning fire.

All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but Yahweh weighs the motives.

His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches. His arms and his feet were like burnished bronze. The voice of his words was like the voice of a multitude.

but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.

Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts. You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.

Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman who fears Yahweh, she shall be praised.

“To the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: “The Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished brass, says these things:

His eyes are a flame of fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has names written and a name written which no one knows but he himself.

But Yahweh of Armies, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them, for I have revealed my cause to you.

coming to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.

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.”

For Yahweh’s eyes run back and forth throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. You have done foolishly in this; for from now on you will have wars.”

Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to Yahweh: they shall certainly not be unpunished.

Whatever has been, its name was given long ago; and it is known what man is; neither can he contend with him who is mightier than he.

I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.

He spoke also this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others.

You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?”

For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

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.

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

Sheol and Abaddon are before Yahweh— how much more then the hearts of the children of men!

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

They prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen

He had a son, whose name was Saul, an impressive young man; and there was not among the children of Israel a better person than he. From his shoulders and upward he was taller than any of the people.

What more can David say to you? For you know your servant, Lord Yahweh.

Now in all Israel there was no one to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty. From the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no defect in him.

He doesn’t delight in the strength of the horse. He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.

Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but Yahweh weighs the hearts.

If you say, “Behold, we didn’t know this,” doesn’t he who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, doesn’t he know it? Shall he not render to every man according to his work?

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

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.

Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that even as he is Christ’s, so we also are Christ’s.

For, “His letters”, they say, “are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised.”

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.

Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility, to subject yourselves to one another; for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

I will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.

God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not make it good?

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.

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

Don’t enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no man living is righteous.

Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw near, when you will say, “I have no pleasure in them;”

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

His delight will be in the fear of Yahweh. He will not judge by the sight of his eyes, neither decide by the hearing of his ears;

But, Yahweh of Armies, who judges righteously, who tests the heart and the mind, I will see your vengeance on them; for to you I have revealed my cause.

So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don’t each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds.”

But they do all their works to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad, enlarge the fringes of their garments,

Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?”

The Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.

But Jesus didn’t entrust himself to them, because he knew everyone,

for they loved men’s praise more than God’s praise.

God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.

He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, but not with a perfect heart.

For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, that we should come together in judgment.

Then call, and I will answer, or let me speak, and you answer me.

Do you open your eyes on such a one, and bring me into judgment with you?

The princess inside is all glorious. Her clothing is interwoven with gold.

This is the destiny of those who are foolish, and of those who approve their sayings.

He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men, extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.

and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.

Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.

but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight; for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by man’s judgment. Yes, I don’t judge my own self.
