A child is born to us! A son is given to us! And he will be our ruler. He will be called, "Wonderful Counselor," "Mighty God," "Eternal Father," "Prince of Peace."

All this wisdom comes from the LORD Almighty. The plans God makes are wise, and they always succeed.

Can anyone tell the LORD what to do? Who can teach him or give him advice?

From the beginning I predicted the outcome; long ago I foretold what would happen. I said that my plans would never fail, that I would do everything I intended to do.

I am calling a man to come from the east; he will swoop down like a hawk and accomplish what I have planned. I have spoken, and it will be done.

How great are God's riches! How deep are his wisdom and knowledge! Who can explain his decisions? Who can understand his ways?

As the scripture says, "Who knows the mind of the Lord? Who is able to give him advice?

All things are done according to God's plan and decision; and God chose us to be his own people in union with Christ because of his own purpose, based on what he had decided from the very beginning.

" LORD, who among the gods is like you? Who is like you, wonderful in holiness? Who can work miracles and mighty acts like yours?

He looks on the people of the earth as nothing; angels in heaven and people on earth are under his control. No one can oppose his will or question what he does.

I see everything they do. Nothing is hidden from me; their sins do not escape my sight.

No one can hide where I cannot see them. Do you not know that I am everywhere in heaven and on earth?

The LORD keeps close watch over the whole world, to give strength to those whose hearts are loyal to him. You have acted foolishly, and so from now on you will always be at war."

He watches every step we take.

The LORD looks down from heaven and sees all of us humans.

He forms all their thoughts and knows everything they do.

The LORD watches over the righteous and listens to their cries;

The LORD sees everything you do. Wherever you go, he is watching.

There is nothing that can be hid from God; everything in all creation is exposed and lies open before his eyes. And it is to him that we must all give an account of ourselves.

I, the LORD, search the minds and test the hearts of people. I treat each of them according to the way they live, according to what they do."

O LORD, listen in heaven and judge your servants. Punish the guilty one as he deserves, and acquit the one who is innocent.

and that his love is constant. You yourself, O Lord, reward everyone according to their deeds.

God is going to judge everything we do, whether good or bad, even things done in secret.

For the Son of Man is about to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will reward each one according to his deeds.

and come out of their graves: those who have done good will rise and live, and those who have done evil will rise and be condemned.

For God will reward each of us according to what we have done.

Other people are selfish and reject what is right, in order to follow what is wrong; on them God will pour out his anger and fury.

But God will give glory, honor, and peace to all who do what is good, to the Jews first and also to the Gentiles.

For all of us must appear before Christ, to be judged by him. We will each receive what we deserve, according to everything we have done, good or bad, in our bodily life.

I will also kill her followers, and then all the churches will know that I am the one who knows everyone's thoughts and wishes. I will repay each of you according to what you have done.

"Listen!" says Jesus. "I am coming soon! I will bring my rewards with me, to give to each one according to what he has done.
