Job 31:6

For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I’m known by my own;

But if anyone loves God, the same is known by him.

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;

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

We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose.

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 know your works (behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut), that you have a little power, and kept my word, and didn’t deny my name.

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.’ ”

They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.

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.

Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.

Yahweh preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but he turns the way of the wicked upside down.

The way of the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, but he loves him who follows after righteousness.

For Yahweh your God, he is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who doesn’t respect persons or take bribes.

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

The arrogant will not stand in your sight. You hate all workers of iniquity.

Yahweh administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Yahweh, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.

They close up their callous hearts. With their mouth they speak proudly.

Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.

Trust in Yahweh, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.

Yahweh knows the days of the perfect. Their inheritance shall be forever.

The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, speaks, and calls the earth from sunrise to sunset.

Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.

A false balance is an abomination to Yahweh, but accurate weights are his delight.

But he answered, ‘Most certainly I tell you, I don’t know you.’

When once the master of the house has risen up, and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ then he will answer and tell you, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’

For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.

“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.

Yahweh is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.

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

They don’t know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God.

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

But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light that shines more and more until the perfect day.

The fear of Yahweh is to hate evil. I hate pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth.

A righteous man walks in integrity. Blessed are his children after him.

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.

For I don’t know what I am doing. For I don’t practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.

God didn’t reject his people, which he foreknew. Or don’t you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:

But these, as unreasoning creatures, born natural animals to be taken and destroyed, speaking evil in matters about which they are ignorant, will in their destroying surely be destroyed,

Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

I will go down now, and see whether their deeds are as bad as the reports which have come to me. If not, I will know.”

You shall not have in your bag diverse weights, one heavy and one light.

As for you, if you will walk before me, as David your father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances;

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

With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man, you will show yourself perfect.

Therefore Yahweh will wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy on you, for Yahweh is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him.

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.

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.

Yahweh, you have seen my wrong. Judge my cause.

You have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me. I have heard it.”

“You shall have just balances, a just ephah, and a just bath.

TEKEL: you are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting.

But don’t look down on your brother in the day of his disaster, and don’t rejoice over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction. Don’t speak proudly in the day of distress.

“Don’t keep talking so exceedingly proudly. Don’t let arrogance come out of your mouth, for Yahweh is a God of knowledge. By him actions are weighed.

“Oh that my anguish were weighed, and all my calamity laid in the balances!

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

For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in Yahweh without wavering.

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

Honest balances and scales are Yahweh’s; all the weights in the bag are his work.

The way of the just is uprightness. You who are upright make the path of the righteous level.

Shall I be pure with dishonest scales, and with a bag of deceitful weights?

Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.’

However God’s firm foundation stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.”
