Job 13:23

(let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know my integrity);

The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold, but Yahweh tests the hearts.

that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ—

I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will test them like gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will hear them. I will say, ‘It is my people;’ and they will say, ‘Yahweh is my God.’ ”

You shall remember all the way which Yahweh your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not.

For Job has said, ‘I am righteous, God has taken away my right:

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.

Although you know that I am not wicked, there is no one who can deliver out of your hand.

Although there is no violence in my hands, and my prayer is pure.

You have proved my heart. You have visited me in the night. You have tried me, and found nothing. I have resolved that my mouth shall not disobey.

then the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring her offering for her: one tenth of an ephah of barley meal. He shall pour no oil on it, nor put frankincense on it, for it is a meal offering of jealousy, a meal offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to memory.

A man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, “Yahweh says, ‘Because the Syrians have said, “Yahweh is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys;” therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am Yahweh.’ ”

Elisha said to the king of Israel, “What have I to do with you? Go to the prophets of your father, and to the prophets of your mother.” The king of Israel said to him, “No, for Yahweh has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.”

So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

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

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.

saying, “Ah! what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God!”

But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.”

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.

The king said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? Because he curses, and because Yahweh has said to him, ‘Curse David;’ who then shall say, ‘Why have you done so?’ ”

She said to her husband, “See now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God who passes by us continually.

He said, “At this season, when the time comes around, you will embrace a son.” She said, “No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your servant.”

I am blameless. I don’t respect myself. I despise my life.

For you say, ‘My doctrine is pure. I am clean in your eyes.’

I put on righteousness, and it clothed me. My justice was as a robe and a diadem.

“For his eyes are on the ways of a man. He sees all his goings.

But you, Yahweh, know me. You see me, and test my heart toward you. Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.

Behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged that he would depart from their borders.

Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come.”

They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.

Examine your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don’t you know about your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.

For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.

Didn’t he tell me, ‘She is my sister’? She, even she herself, said, ‘He is my brother.’ I have done this in the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands.”

They said to one another, “We are certainly guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul, when he begged us, and we wouldn’t listen. Therefore this distress has come upon us.”

When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will fully pay us back for all the evil which we did to him.”

‘You shall tell Joseph, “Now please forgive the disobedience of your brothers, and their sin, because they did evil to you.” ’ Now, please forgive the disobedience of the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him.

Yahweh had said to Moses, “Tell the children of Israel, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go up among you for one moment, I would consume you. Therefore now take off your jewelry from you, that I may know what to do to you.’ ”

who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers didn’t know, that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end;

Saul said to Samuel, “But I have obeyed Yahweh’s voice, and have gone the way which Yahweh sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.

Samuel did that which Yahweh spoke, and came to Bethlehem. The elders of the city came to meet him trembling, and said, “Do you come peaceably?”

David said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should be adversaries to me today? Shall any man be put to death today in Israel? For don’t I know that I am king over Israel today?”

But the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,

Behold, a man of God came out of Judah by Yahweh’s word to Bethel; and Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense.

She said to Elijah, “What have I to do with you, you man of God? You have come to me to bring my sin to memory, and to kill my son!”

He said, “How have I sinned, that you would deliver your servant into the hand of Ahab, to kill me?

So they poured out for the men to eat. As they were eating some of the stew, they cried out, and said, “Man of God, there is death in the pot!” And they could not eat it.

But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, “What have I to do with you, you king of Judah? I come not against you today, but against the house with which I have war. God has commanded me to make haste. Beware that it is God who is with me, that he not destroy you.”

If I have sinned, what do I do to you, you watcher of men? Why have you set me as a mark for you, so that I am a burden to myself?

“Truly I know that it is so, but how can man be just with God?

For he breaks me with a storm, and multiplies my wounds without cause.

If the scourge kills suddenly, he will mock at the trial of the innocent.

I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that you will not hold me innocent.

that he would show you the secrets of wisdom! For true wisdom has two sides. Know therefore that God exacts of you less than your iniquity deserves.

If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away. Don’t let unrighteousness dwell in your tents.

Is it good that he should search you out? Or as one deceives a man, will you deceive him?

See now, I have set my cause in order. I know that I am righteous.

For you write bitter things against me, and make me inherit the iniquities of my youth:

Upright men will be astonished at this. The innocent will stir himself up against the godless.

“Behold, I know your thoughts, the plans with which you would wrong me.

Isn’t your wickedness great? Neither is there any end to your iniquities.

Also his wrath was kindled against his three friends, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

‘I am clean, without disobedience. I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me.

I wish that Job were tried to the end, because of his answering like wicked men.

Yahweh examines the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and him who loves violence.

Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors.

Examine me, Yahweh, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.

For innumerable evils have surrounded me. My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of my head. My heart has failed me.

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

For you, God, have tested us. You have refined us, as silver is refined.

Don’t hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are in desperate need.

Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts.

The thoughts of the righteous are just, but the advice of the wicked is deceitful.

There is a generation that is pure in their own eyes, yet are not washed from their filthiness.

“Yet you said, ‘I am innocent. Surely his anger has turned away from me.’ “Behold, I will judge you, because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’

Yahweh says to this people, “Even so they have loved to wander. They have not restrained their feet. Therefore Yahweh does not accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity, and punish them for their sins.”

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.

and I brought them into Yahweh’s house, into the room of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was by the room of the princes, which was above the room of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the threshold.

and crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, don’t torment me.”

But Herod, when he heard this, said, “This is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead.”

When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, “What do I have to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torment me!”

Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,

He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?” Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, “Do you have affection for me?” He said to him, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.

None of the rest dared to join them, however the people honored them.

But let each man examine his own work, and then he will have reason to boast in himself, and not in someone else.

But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.

But in those sacrifices there is a yearly reminder of sins.
