I know that you wanted faithfulness even when I was in my mother’s body. 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.

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

Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden[ part] thou shalt 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 his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

The one whose walk is blameless, who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from their heart;

Who gives the ibis wisdom or gives the rooster understanding?

Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”

Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.

Lord, do not your eyes look for truth? You struck them, but they felt no pain; you crushed them, but they refused correction. They made their faces harder than stone and refused to repent.

For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

I know, my God, that you test the heart and are pleased with integrity. All these things I have given willingly and with honest intent. And now I have seen with joy how willingly your people who are here have given to you.

For in my inner being I delight in God’s law;

Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with malice. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongues they tell lies.

I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never stop doing good to them, and I will inspire them to fear me, so that they will never turn away from me.

But it is the spirit in a person, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding.

This is what Hezekiah did throughout Judah, doing what was good and right and faithful before the Lord his God.In everything that he undertook in the service of God’s temple and in obedience to the law and the commands, he sought his God and worked wholeheartedly. And so he prospered.

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

Then the Lord said to him,“ Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

“ Remember, Lord, how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

Test me, Lord, and try me, examine my heart and my mind;

Now this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, with integrity and godly sincerity. We have done so, relying not on worldly wisdom but on God’s grace.

For the upright will live in the land, and the blameless will remain in it;

Did he not say to me,‘ She is my sister,’ and didn’t she also say,‘ He is my brother’? I have done this with a clear conscience and clean hands.”Then God said to him in the dream,“ Yes, I know you did this with a clear conscience, and 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, to those who are upright in heart.
