衷藏誠實、為主所喜愛、求主使我心懷智慧、

得罪我主。神鑑實明。宜受爾責。宜伏爾懲。

Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb; you taught me wisdom in that secret place.

Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.

But you desire honesty from the womb, teaching me wisdom even there.

Surely you desire integrity in the inner self, and you teach me wisdom deep within.

Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being, And in secret You will make wisdom known to me.

Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.

Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts; And in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom.

Look, you desire integrity in the inner man; you want me to possess wisdom.

Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts. You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.

But the Lord said to Samuel,“ Do not consider how handsome or tall he is. I have not chosen him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outside of a person. But the Lord looks at what is in the heart.”

Anyone who lives without blame and does what is right. They speak the truth from their heart.

Who gives the ibis wisdom? Who gives the rooster understanding?

But a new time is coming. In fact, it is already here. True worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth. They are the kind of worshipers the Father is looking for.God is spirit. His worshipers must worship him in the Spirit and in truth.”

Instead, your beauty comes from inside you. It is the beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit. Beauty like this doesn’t fade away. God places great value on it.

Lord, don’t your eyes look for truth? You struck down your people. But they didn’t feel any pain. You crushed them. But they refused to be corrected. They made their faces harder than stone. They refused to turn away from their sins.

The Lord gives wisdom. Knowledge and understanding come from his mouth.

Come near to God, and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners. Make your hearts pure, you who can’t make up your minds.

My God, I know that you tested our hearts. And you are pleased when we are honest. I’ve given all these things just because I wanted to. When I did it, I was completely honest with you. Your people here have also been willing to give to you. And I’ve been happy to see this.

Deep inside me I find joy in God’s law.

Not a word from their mouths can be trusted. Their hearts are filled with a desire to hurt others. Their throats are like open graves. With their tongues they tell lies.

I will make a covenant with them that will last forever. I promise that I will never stop doing good to them. I will cause them to respect me. Then they will never turn away from me again.

But the spirit in people gives them understanding. The breath of the Mighty One gives them wisdom.

That’s what Hezekiah did all through Judah. He did what was good and right. He was faithful to the Lord his God.He tried to obey his God. He worked for him with all his heart. That’s the way he worked in everything he did to serve God’s temple. He obeyed the law. He followed the Lord’ s commands. So he had success.

“ This is the covenant I will make with Israel after that time,” announces the Lord.“ I will put my law in their minds. I will write it on their hearts. I will be their God. And they will be my people.

Then the Lord spoke to him.“ You Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish,” he said.“ But inside you are full of greed and evil.

“ Lord, please remember how faithful I’ve been to you. I’ve lived the way you wanted me to. I’ve served you with all my heart. I’ve done what is good in your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

Lord, test me. Try me out. Look deep down into my heart and mind.

Here is what we take pride in. Our sense of what is right and wrong tells us how we have acted. We have lived with honor and godly honesty. We have depended on God’s grace and not on the world’s wisdom. We lived that way most of all when we were dealing with you.

Honest people will live in the land. Those who are without blame will remain in it.

Didn’t Abraham say to me,‘ She’s my sister’? And didn’t she also say,‘ He’s my brother’? I had no idea I was doing anything wrong.”Then God spoke to him in the dream. He said,“ Yes, I know you had no idea you were doing anything wrong. So I have kept you from sinning against me. That is why I did not let you touch her.

Lord, do good to those who are good. Do good to those whose hearts are honest.
