Proverbs 15:11

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

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.

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);

knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him!

I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.

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

great in counsel, and mighty in work; whose eyes are open to all the ways of the children of men, to give everyone according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings;

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.

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

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

He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit’s mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God.

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

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

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.

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.

I will give to you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven; and whatever you release on earth will have been released in heaven.”

For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.

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.

Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.

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

When the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to him who sits on the throne, to him who lives forever and ever,

I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.

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.”

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

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

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

But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me.

Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work.

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.

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

so that your merciful deeds may be in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

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

Now we know that you know all things, and don’t need for anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came from God.”

Therefore he says also in another psalm, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’

For to this end Christ died, rose, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.

He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.

who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life;

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)

if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

It will be accomplished before his time. His branch will not be green.

You will destroy those who speak lies. Yahweh abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

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

The fear of Yahweh prolongs days, but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

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

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.

who “will pay back to everyone according to their works:”

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

Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.

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

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

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.”

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.

But you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in you.

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

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

“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.”

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.

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

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.
