And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.

Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they cannot understand one another's speech.

And I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and broad land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites.

For Jehovah had said to Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, You are a stiff-necked people. I should come up into your midst in one moment and consume you. Now therefore, take off your ornaments, that I may know what to do with you.

For behold, Jehovah is coming out of His place, and He will come down and tread upon the high places of the earth.

For I have come down out of Heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

For the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a shouted command, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.

There is no darkness nor shadow of death where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

You have set our iniquities before You, our secrets in the light of Your countenance.

The sin of Judah is written with an iron stylus; it is engraved on the tablet of the heart and on the horns of Your altar with the point of a diamond;

I Jehovah search the heart, I examine the soul, even to give to each man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.

And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and punish the men who are curdled in their dregs; who say in their heart, Jehovah will not do good, nor will He do evil.

And there is no creature that is not revealed in His presence, but all things are naked and laid bare to the eyes of Him to whom we must give answer.

For Jehovah had said to Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, You are a stiff-necked people. I should come up into your midst in one moment and consume you. Now therefore, take off your ornaments, that I may know what to do with you.

And you shall remember that Jehovah your God has led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.

you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for Jehovah your God is testing you to know whether you love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

Jehovah, the Mighty God of gods, Jehovah, the Mighty God of gods, He knows, and let Israel itself know; if it is in rebellion, or if in treachery against Jehovah, do not save us this day.

i1 [To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.] i0 par O Jehovah, You have searched me and known me.

You have sifted through my way of life and my lying down, and are familiar with all my ways.

You have hedged me behind and before, and laid Your hand upon me.

Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?

If I take the wings of the dawn, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,

If I say, Surely the darkness shall fall upon me, even the night shall be light round about me;

For You have possessed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb.

My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O Mighty God! How great is the sum of them!

Surely You will slay the wicked, O God! Depart from me, you men of blood.

Do I not hate them, O Jehovah, who hate You? And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?

Search me, O Mighty God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties;

And He said to them, You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

Why? Because I do not love you? God knows.
