Psalms 19:12

Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life.

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.

I told him, “My lord, you know.” He said to me, “These are those who came out of the great suffering.They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb’s blood.

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.

One who trusts in himself is a fool; but one who walks in wisdom is kept safe.

Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there might be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;

This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event to all: yes also, the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.

For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.

Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of man’s heart was continually only evil.

Yahweh smelled the pleasant aroma. Yahweh said in his heart, “I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake because the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth. I will never again strike every living thing, as I have done.

“Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat and before the mercy seat.

for this people’s heart has grown callous, their ears are dull of hearing, they have closed their eyes; or else perhaps they might perceive with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again; and I would heal them.’

Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!

For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

“ ‘If anyone of the common people sins unwittingly, in doing any of the things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and is guilty,

“This shall be an everlasting statute for you, to make atonement for the children of Israel once in the year because of all their sins.” It was done as Yahweh commanded Moses.

Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

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

You have done evil more than your fathers, for behold, you each walk after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that you don’t listen to me.

For the life of the flesh is in the blood. I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life.

But I know your sitting down, your going out, your coming in, and your raging against me.

You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’ therefore I have uttered that which I didn’t understand, things too wonderful for me, which I didn’t know.

They have all gone aside. They have together become corrupt. There is no one who does good, no, not one.

You have done these things, and I kept silent. You thought that I was just like you. I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.

As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

“In that day there will be a spring opened to David’s house and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.

Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?

The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let’s therefore throw off the deeds of darkness, and let’s put on the armor of light.

in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,

This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the veil;

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

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood—

“ ‘When a ruler sins, and unwittingly does any one of all the things which Yahweh his God has commanded not to be done, and is guilty,

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.”

For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.

Behold, I was born in iniquity. My mother conceived me in sin.

Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head. Those who want to cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty. I have to restore what I didn’t take away.

My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

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

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

Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised! His greatness is unsearchable.

For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,

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

His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,

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.

Because of this, he must offer sacrifices for sins for the people, as well as for himself.

nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy place year by year with blood not his own,

“Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘If anyone sins unintentionally, in any of the things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and does any one of them,

“Aaron shall offer the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself and for his house.

Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one.

Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?”

Many, Yahweh, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can’t be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be counted.

Every one of them has gone back. They have become filthy together. There is no one who does good, no, not one.

Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name’s sake.

Yahweh knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.

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

He touched my mouth with it, and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin forgiven.”

Haven’t you known? Haven’t you heard? The everlasting God, Yahweh, the Creator of the ends of the earth, doesn’t faint. He isn’t weary. His understanding is unsearchable.

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

I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your filthiness, and from all your idols.

Therefore they cried to Yahweh, and said, “We beg you, Yahweh, we beg you, don’t let us die for this man’s life, and don’t lay on us innocent blood; for you, Yahweh, have done as it pleased you.”

Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.

Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the angel.

Now why do you wait? Arise, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.’

What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.

Some of you were such, but you were washed. But you were sanctified. But you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.

You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.”

For we all stumble in many things. Anyone who doesn’t stumble in word is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also.

and some save, snatching them out of the fire with fear, hating even the clothing stained by the flesh.

Teach me that which I don’t see. If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more’?

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.

The heart is deceitful above all things and it is exceedingly corrupt. Who can know it?

So you shall do on the seventh day of the month for everyone who errs, and for him who is simple. So you shall make atonement for the house.

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.

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

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.

“If anyone sins, doing any of the things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, though he didn’t know it, he is still guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.

The priest shall examine him again on the seventh day. Behold, if the plague has faded and the plague hasn’t spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. It is a scab. He shall wash his clothes, and be clean.

“ ‘When you err, and don’t observe all these commandments which Yahweh has spoken to Moses—

All the elders of that city which is nearest to the slain man shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley.

Forgive, Yahweh, your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, and don’t allow innocent blood among your people Israel.” The blood shall be forgiven them.

If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn’t sin), and you are angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to the land of the enemy, far off or near;

If he is pleased to contend with him, he can’t answer him one time in a thousand.

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

I would declare to him the number of my steps. as a prince would I go near to him.

Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity. Cleanse me from my sin.

God, you know my foolishness. My sins aren’t hidden from you.

Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, “The righteous will live by faith.”

and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith,

“ ‘Or if anyone touches any unclean thing, whether it is the carcass of an unclean animal, or the carcass of unclean livestock, or the carcass of unclean creeping things, and it is hidden from him, and he is unclean, then he shall be guilty.

“Teach me, and I will hold my peace. Cause me to understand my error.

Sins overwhelmed me, but you atoned for our transgressions.

You know my sitting down and my rising up. You perceive my thoughts from afar.

This knowledge is beyond me. It’s lofty. I can’t attain it.

For we have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteousness is like a polluted garment. We all fade like a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.

but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself, and for the errors of the people.
