Job 26:6

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

Yahweh’s eyes are everywhere, keeping watch on the evil and the good.

“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.

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.

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

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

There is no darkness, nor thick gloom, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

The earth is Yahweh’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell in it.

For the ways of man are before Yahweh’s eyes. He examines all his paths.

Sheol, the barren womb; the earth that is not satisfied with water; and the fire that doesn’t say, ‘Enough.’

All things are full of weariness beyond uttering. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

There is one who is alone, and he has neither son nor brother. There is no end to all of his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with wealth. “For whom then, do I labor and deprive my soul of enjoyment?” This also is vanity. Yes, it is a miserable business.

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

“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.”

“Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?”

Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice, and keep my covenant, then you shall be my own possession from among all peoples; for all the earth is mine;

Behold, to Yahweh your God belongs heaven, the heaven of heavens, and the earth, with all that is therein.

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.”

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 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)

“Isn’t God in the heights of heaven? See the height of the stars, how high they are!

For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol, who shall give you thanks?

The friendship of Yahweh is with those who fear him. He will show them his covenant.

won’t God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.

If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.

You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.

If I ascend up into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there!

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

Can anyone hide himself in secret places so that I can’t see him?” says Yahweh. “Don’t I fill heaven and earth?” says Yahweh.

Yes, moreover, wine is treacherous. An arrogant man who doesn’t stay at home, who enlarges his desire as Sheol, and he is like death, and can’t be satisfied, but gathers to himself all nations, and heaps to himself all peoples.

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

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.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.

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 secret things belong to Yahweh our God; but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.

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.”

For he knows false men. He sees iniquity also, even though he doesn’t consider it.

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.

For my eyes are on all their ways. They are not hidden from my face. Their iniquity isn’t concealed from my eyes.

because they have done foolish things in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives, and have spoken words in my name falsely, which I didn’t command them. I am he who knows, and am witness,” says Yahweh.

As for your terror, the pride of your heart has deceived you, O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, who hold the height of the hill, though you should make your nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from there,” says Yahweh.

Though Babylon should mount up to the sky, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet destroyers will come to her from me,” says Yahweh.

There is a man in your kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him. The king Nebuchadnezzar your father, yes, the king, your father, made him master of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;

Though you mount on high as the eagle, and though your nest is set among the stars, I will bring you down from there,” says Yahweh.

for “the earth is the Lord’s, and its fullness.”

This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn’t the Father’s, but is the world’s.

He gathered them together into the place which is called in Hebrew, “Megiddo”.

“The departed spirits tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.

Destruction and Death say, ‘We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.’

Have the gates of death been revealed to you? Or have you seen the gates of the shadow of death?

For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption.

“What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?

But those who seek my soul to destroy it shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

Therefore Sheol has enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, their multitude, their pomp, and he who rejoices among them, descend into it.

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

behold, you are wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that is hidden from you;

They have set her a bed among the slain with all her multitude. Her graves are around her; all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for their terror was caused in the land of the living, and they have borne their shame with those who go down to the pit. He is put among those who are slain.

He reveals the deep and secret things. He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.

The king answered to Daniel, and said, “Of a truth your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since you have been able to reveal this secret.”

Though they dig into Sheol, there my hand will take them; and though they climb up to heaven, there I will bring them down.

In Hades, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom.

He alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen.

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.

They are high as heaven. What can you do? They are deeper than Sheol. What can you know?

for it is a fire that consumes to destruction, and would root out all my increase.

Who has first given to me, that I should repay him? Everything under the heavens is mine.

Do you show wonders to the dead? Do the departed spirits rise up and praise you?

Is your loving kindness declared in the grave? Or your faithfulness in Destruction?

If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me. The light around me will be night,”

even the darkness doesn’t hide from you, but the night shines as the day. The darkness is like light to you.

Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; and a man’s eyes are never satisfied.

Sheol from beneath has moved for you to meet you at your coming. It stirs up the departed spirits for you, even all the rulers of the earth. It has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.

They have over them as king the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is “Abaddon”, but in Greek, he has the name “Apollyon”.
