As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Jehovah searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever.

For the eyes of Jehovah run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong for those whose hearts are perfect toward Him. In this you have done foolishly; therefore from now on there will be wars for you.

Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon those who fear Him, on those who hope in His mercy;

to deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

The eyes of Jehovah are upon the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry.

Jehovah redeems the soul of His servants; and none of those who trust in Him shall be held guilty.

Say to the righteous that it is well; for they shall eat of the fruit of their doings.

Woe to the wicked! For the evil, the recompense of his hand, shall be done unto him.

Jehovah is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Your hand shall find out all Your enemies; Your right hand shall find out those who hate You.

You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of Your presence; Jehovah will swallow them up in His wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

The face of Jehovah is against those who do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

Who knows the power of Your anger? For as is the fear of You, so is Your wrath.

I will gather up and make an end of all things from off the face of the land, declares Jehovah.

I will also stretch out My hand on Judah and on all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, the names of the idolatrous priests, with the priests;

and those drawing back from following Jehovah, and who have not sought Jehovah, nor inquired of Him.

Now the just shall live by faith; but if anyone draws back, My soul is not pleased with him.

For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayers; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.
