Job 9:32

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

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

that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.

For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

“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.”

Also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent.”

“For I, Yahweh, don’t change; therefore you, sons of Jacob, are not consumed.

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.

in hope of eternal life, which God, who can’t lie, promised before time began;

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);

You turn things upside down! Should the potter be thought to be like clay; that the thing made should say about him who made it, “He didn’t make me;” or the thing formed say of him who formed it, “He has no understanding?”

For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it; because it will surely come. It won’t delay.

He who calls you is faithful, who will also do it.

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.

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

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.

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.

If we are faithless, he remains faithful; for he can’t deny himself.”

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

I call a ravenous bird from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country. Yes, I have spoken. I will also bring it to pass. I have planned. I will also do it.

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.

For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.

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

Behold, I am with you, and will keep you, wherever you go, and will bring you again into this land. For I will not leave you, until I have done that which I have spoken of to you.”

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.”

Behold, he snatches away. Who can hinder him? Who will ask him, ‘What are you doing?’

Why do you strive against him, because he doesn’t give account of any of his matters?

I will not break my covenant, nor alter what my lips have uttered.

Once I have sworn by my holiness, I will not lie to David.

Yahweh has sworn, and will not change his mind: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”

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.

But now, Yahweh, you are our Father. We are the clay and you our potter. We all are the work of your hand.

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?”

Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

I, Yahweh, have spoken. I will surely do this to all this evil congregation who are gathered together against me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.”

This was a small thing in your eyes, God; but you have spoken of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have respected me according to the standard of a man of high degree, Yahweh God.

I cry to you, and you do not answer me. I stand up, and you gaze at me.

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.

Yahweh, what is man, that you care for him? Or the son of man, that you think of him?

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

Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and doesn’t sin.

Yet he also is wise, and will bring disaster, and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of those who work iniquity.

For this the earth will mourn, and the heavens above be black, because I have spoken it. I have planned it, and I have not repented, neither will I turn back from it.”

“If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? Though in a land of peace you are secure, yet how will you do in the pride of the Jordan?

“House of Israel, can’t I do with you as this potter?” says Yahweh. “Behold, as the clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand, house of Israel.

I will not execute the fierceness of my anger. I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One among you; and I will not come in wrath.

You will give truth to Jacob, and mercy to Abraham, as you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.

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.

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.

How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?

If you, Yah, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand?

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?

That which is has been long ago, and that which is to be has been long ago. God seeks again that which is passed away.

Yahweh, you are my God. I will exalt you! I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago, in complete faithfulness and truth.

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 what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God?

But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel that are of Israel.

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.

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?

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

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.”

Do you have eyes of flesh? Or do you see as man sees?

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?

“Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard. I cry for help, but there is no justice.

Is it for your piety that he reproves you, that he enters with you into judgment?

what then will I do when God rises up? When he visits, what will I answer him?

“Behold, I will answer you. In this you are not just, for God is greater than man.

Woe to him who strives with his Maker— a clay pot among the clay pots of the earth! Shall the clay ask him who fashions it, ‘What are you making?’ or your work, ‘He has no hands?’

“Behold, he will come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation: for I will suddenly make them run away from it; and whoever is chosen, I will appoint him over it. For who is like me? Who will appoint me a time? Who is the shepherd who will stand before me?”

because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
