But, Lord of Hosts, who judges righteously,
who tests heart and mind,
let me see Your vengeance on them,
for I have presented my case to You.

I, Yahweh, examine the mind,
I test the heart
to give to each according to his way,
according to what his actions deserve.

Lord of Hosts, testing the righteous
and seeing the heart and mind,
let me see Your vengeance on them,
for I have presented my case to You.

Set up road markers for yourself;
establish signposts!
Keep the highway in mind,
the way you have traveled.
Return, Virgin Israel!
Return to these cities of yours.

I will take delight in them to do what is good for them, and with all My heart and mind I will faithfully plant them in this land.

“As for the incense you burned in Judah’s cities and in Jerusalem’s streets—you, your fathers, your kings, your officials, and the people of the land—did the Lord not remember them? He brought this to mind.

Those who escape the sword will return from the land of Egypt to the land of Judah only few in number, and the whole remnant of Judah, the ones going to the land of Egypt to live there for a while, will know whose word stands, Mine or theirs!

Sharpen the arrows!
Fill the quivers!
The Lord has put it into the mind
of the kings of the Medes
because His plan is aimed at Babylon
to destroy her,
for it is the Lord’s vengeance,
vengeance for His temple.

You who have escaped the sword,
go and do not stand still!
Remember the Lord from far away,
and let Jerusalem come to your mind.

ל LamedIs this nothing to you, all you who pass by?
Look and see!
Is there any pain like mine,
which was dealt out to me,
which the Lord made me suffer
on the day of His burning anger?

Yet I call this to mind,
and therefore I have hope:

Then the Spirit of the Lord came on me, and He told me, “You are to say: This is what the Lord says: That is what you are thinking, house of Israel; and I know the thoughts that arise in your mind.

“Then I passed by you and saw you, and you were indeed at the age for love. So I spread the edge of My garment over you and covered your nakedness. I pledged Myself to you, entered into a covenant with you, and you became Mine.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.

“When you say, ‘Let us be like the nations, like the peoples of other countries, worshiping wood and stone,’ what you have in mind will never happen.

The older one was named Oholah, and her sister was Oholibah. They became Mine and gave birth to sons and daughters. As for their names, Oholah represents Samaria and Oholibah represents Jerusalem.

“Oholah acted like a prostitute even though she was Mine. She lusted after her lovers, the Assyrians: warriors

“Because you said, ‘These two nations and two lands will be mine, and we will possess them’—though the Lord was there—

“This is what the Lord God says: On that day, thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will devise an evil plan.

The shekel will weigh 20 gerahs. Your mina will equal 60 shekels.

But there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and He has let King Nebuchadnezzar know what will happen in the last days. Your dream and the visions that came into your mind as you lay in bed were these:

Your Majesty, while you were in your bed, thoughts came to your mind about what will happen in the future. The revealer of mysteries has let you know what will happen.

As for me, this mystery has been revealed to me, not because I have more wisdom than anyone living, but in order that the interpretation might be made known to the king, and that you may understand the thoughts of your mind.

I had a dream, and it frightened me; while in my bed, the images and visions in my mind alarmed me.

In the visions of my mind as I was lying in bed, I saw this:

There was a tree in the middle of the earth,
and its height was great.

“As I was lying in my bed, I also saw in the visions of my mind an observer, a holy one, coming down from heaven.

Let his mind be changed from that of a man,
and let him be given the mind of an animal
for seven periods of time.

He was driven away from people, his mind was like an animal’s, he lived with the wild donkeys, he was fed grass like cattle, and his body was drenched with dew from the sky until he acknowledged that the Most High God is ruler over the kingdom of men and sets anyone He wants over it.

As soon as the king heard this, he was very displeased; he set his mind on rescuing Daniel and made every effort until sundown to deliver him.

In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream with visions in his mind as he was lying in his bed. He wrote down the dream, and here is the summary of his account.

“The first was like a lion but had eagle’s wings. I continued watching until its wings were torn off. It was lifted up from the ground, set on its feet like a man, and given a human mind.

“As for me, Daniel, my spirit was deeply distressed within me, and the visions in my mind terrified me.

He will cause deceit to prosper
through his cunning and by his influence,
and in his own mind he will make himself great.
He will destroy many in a time of peace;
he will even stand against the Prince of princes.
Yet he will be shattered—not by human hands.

So the Lord kept the disaster in mind and brought it on us, for the Lord our God is righteous in all He has done. But we have not obeyed Him.

“They will be Mine,” says the Lord of Hosts, “a special possession on the day I am preparing. I will have compassion on them as a man has compassion on his son who serves him.

“Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them will be like a sensible man who built his house on the rock.

But everyone who hears these words of Mine and doesn’t act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.

“What do you want?” He asked her.

“Promise,” she said to Him, “that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right and the other on Your left, in Your kingdom.”

He told them, “You will indeed drink My cup. But to sit at My right and left is not Mine to give; instead, it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by My Father.”

“He answered, ‘I don’t want to!’ Yet later he changed his mind and went.

He said to him, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You pay a tenth of mint, dill, and cumin, yet you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy, and faith. These things should have been done without neglecting the others.

“And the King will answer them, ‘I assure you: Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.’

When His family heard this, they set out to restrain Him, because they said, “He’s out of His mind.”

They came to Jesus and saw the man who had been demon-possessed by the legion, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

But to sit at My right or left is not Mine to give; instead, it is for those it has been prepared for.”

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.

Then people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man the demons had departed from, sitting at Jesus’ feet, dressed and in his right mind. And they were afraid.

He answered:

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.

because a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I don’t have anything to offer him.’

“But woe to you Pharisees! You give a tenth of mint, rue, and every kind of herb, and you bypass justice and love for God. These things you should have done without neglecting the others.

because this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.

The first came forward and said, ‘Master, your mina has earned 10 more minas.’

“The second came and said, ‘Master, your mina has made five minas.’

“And another came and said, ‘Master, here is your mina. I have kept it hidden away in a cloth

So he said to those standing there, ‘Take the mina away from him and give it to the one who has 10 minas.’

But bring here these enemies of mine, who did not want me to rule over them, and slaughter them in my presence.’”

He who has the bride is the groom. But the groom’s friend, who stands by and listens for him, rejoices greatly at the groom’s voice. So this joy of mine is complete.

Jesus answered them, “My teaching isn’t Mine but is from the One who sent Me.

The one who doesn’t love Me will not keep My words. The word that you hear is not Mine but is from the Father who sent Me.

He will glorify Me, because He will take from what is Mine and declare it to you.

Everything the Father has is Mine. This is why I told you that He takes from what is Mine and will declare it to you.

Everything I have is Yours,
and everything You have is Mine,
and I have been glorified in them.

The crowds paid attention with one mind to what Philip said, as they heard and saw the signs he was performing.

In every way I’ve shown you that by laboring like this, it is necessary to help the weak and to keep in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, for He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

As he was making his defense this way, Festus exclaimed in a loud voice, “You’re out of your mind, Paul! Too much study is driving you mad!”

But Paul replied, “I’m not out of my mind, most excellent Festus. On the contrary, I’m speaking words of truth and good judgment.

that is, to be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine.

And because they did not think it worthwhile to acknowledge God, God delivered them over to a worthless mind to do what is morally wrong.

But I see a different law in the parts of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and taking me prisoner to the law of sin in the parts of my body.

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I myself am a slave to the law of God, but with my flesh, to the law of sin.

For the mind-set of the flesh is death, but the mind-set of the Spirit is life and peace.

For the mind-set of the flesh is hostile to God because it does not submit itself to God’s law, for it is unable to do so.

And He who searches the hearts knows the Spirit’s mind-set, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

For who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been His counselor?

Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.

One person considers one day to be above another day. Someone else considers every day to be the same. Each one must be fully convinced in his own mind.

so that you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ with a united mind and voice.

Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord; also his mother—and mine.

For

who has known the Lord’s mind,
that he may instruct Him?

But we have the mind of Christ.

In fact, I made up my mind about this: I would not come to you on another painful visit.

For if we are out of our mind, it is for God; if we have a sound mind, it is for you.

As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be stopped in the regions of Achaia.

Finally, brothers, rejoice. Become mature, be encouraged, be of the same mind, be at peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

Just one thing: Live your life in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or am absent, I will hear about you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind, working side by side for the faith that comes from the gospel,

Once you were alienated and hostile in your minds because of your evil actions.

Let no one disqualify you, insisting on ascetic practices and the worship of angels, claiming access to a visionary realm and inflated without cause by his unspiritual mind.

to seek to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you,

not to be easily upset in mind or troubled, either by a spirit or by a message or by a letter as if from us, alleging that the Day of the Lord has come.

Keep your attention on Jesus Christ as risen from the dead and descended from David. This is according to my gospel.

Just as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so these also resist the truth, men who are corrupt in mind, worthless in regard to the faith.

To the pure, everything is pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; in fact, both their mind and conscience are defiled.

but He became a priest with an oath made by the One who said to Him:

The Lord has sworn,
and He will not change His mind,
You are a priest forever.

“Here is the mind with wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated.
