Divine Knowledge » All the ways of men are known to God
God's eyes are on a person's ways. He sees all his steps.
You are great in counsel and mighty in deed. Your eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men. You give to everyone according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds.
Jehovah knows (is fully aware of) the way of the righteous. But the way of the wicked will perish.
You inspect my path and my lying down. You are intimately acquainted with my ways.
When I begin to lose hope, you already know what I am experiencing. My enemies have hidden a trap for me on the path where I walk.
I see everything that they do. They cannot hide anything from me. Their wickedness cannot be hidden; I can see it.
God » Is declared to be » Omniscient
([Psalm of David]) O Jehovah, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up. You understand my thought from afar. You inspect my path and my lying down. You are intimately acquainted with my ways. read more.
Even before I speak words from my tongue, behold, O Jehovah, You know it all. You have enclosed me behind and before, and laid your hand upon me. Knowing this is too wonderful for me! It is too high, I cannot attain to it.

Heart » The lord looking upon the heart
But Jehovah said to Samuel: Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature. I have rejected him. God does not see as man sees. Man looks at the outward appearance. Jehovah looks at the heart (inner man).
The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately corrupt. Who can understand it? I, Jehovah, search the heart and examine the mind (inner man). I give to each man according to his ways, according to the results of his deeds.
You my son Solomon, learn to know your father's God. Serve Jehovah wholeheartedly and willingly because he searches every heart and understands every thought we have. If you dedicate your life to serving him, he will accept you. On the other hand if you abandon him, he will reject you from then on.
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but Jehovah measures the hearts.
If you do not deliver those who are condemned to death, You may say: We did not know this, but God knows and judges your motives. He keeps watch on you and knows. He will reward each man according to his deeds.
To the angel of the congregation in Thyatira write: This is the message from the Son of God, whose eyes blaze like fire, whose feet shine like polished brass. I know your works. I know your love, your faithfulness, your service, and your patience. I know that you are doing more now than you did at first. But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads my servants astray so that they commit immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. read more.
I gave her time to repent, and she does not want to repent of her immorality. Watch this! I am going to throw her into a sickbed. Those who commit sexual sins with her will also suffer much trouble, unless they repent and turn away from what she is doing. I will kill her children with deadly plague. Then all the congregations will know that I am the one who searches hearts and minds. I will reward each of you for what you have done.

Man » The ways of man
O Jehovah, I know that humans are not able to govern their own lives. Humans cannot administer their own steps.
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but Jehovah measures the hearts.
All the ways of a man are pure (clean) in his own eyes. But Jehovah weighs the motives.
Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to Jehovah, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon. My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares Jehovah. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
But you say: Jehovah's way is unfair. Listen, nation of Israel, is my way fair? Is it your ways that are unfair? When a righteous person turns away from doing right and does evil things, he will die. He will die because of the evil things he has done. When a wicked person turns away from the wicked things that he has done and does what is fair and right, he will live. read more.
He realized what he was doing and turned away from all the rebellious things that he had done. He will certainly live. He will not die. But the nation of Israel says: Jehovah's way is unfair. Is my way not fair, nation of Israel? Is it not your ways that are unfair? That is why I will judge each of you by what you have done, people of Israel, declares the Lord Jehovah. Change the way you think and act. (Repent!) Turn away from all the rebellious things that you have done so that you will not fall into sin.

But your people say: 'Jehovah's way is not right.' Yet, their ways are not right. If the righteous person turns from the right things that he has done and does evil, he will die because of it. If the wicked person turns from his wickedness and does what is fair and right, he will live because of it. read more.

Man » God » Orders the goings of
Jehovah directs man's steps. How can man understand his own way?
Seeing » The eyes of the lord
The eyes of Jehovah (God) are upon the righteous. His ears hear their prayers. But the face (person) of Jehovah is against those who do evil.
The eyes of Jehovah are in everywhere watching the evil and the good.
The eyes of Jehovah keep close watch over the entire world. He gives strength (shows His strength) to (in behalf of) those whose hearts are loyal to him. You have acted foolishly! Therefore from now on you will always be at war.
Jehovah is in his holy temple. Jehovah's throne is in heaven. His eyes see. They examine the sons of men.
Jehovah's eyes watch over righteous people. His ears hear their cry for help.
Behold, the eyes of the Lord Jehovah are upon the sinful kingdom! Yet, I will destroy it from off the face of the earth! I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, said Jehovah.
Say to God: How awe-inspiring are your deeds! Your power is so great that your enemies will cringe in front of you. The whole earth will worship you. They will sing praises to you. They will make music to praise your name. Come and see the works of God, his awe-inspiring deeds for the sons of men. read more.
He turned the sea into dry land. They crossed the river on foot. We rejoiced because of what he did there. He rules forever with his might. His eyes watch the nations. Rebels will not be able to oppose him.

Remember, the eye of Jehovah is on those who respect him, on those who hope for his loving-kindness.
God's eyes are on a person's ways. He sees all his steps. There is no darkness or deep shadow where troublemakers can hide. He does not have to set a time for a person in order to bring him to divine judgment.
You show loving kindness to thousands, but repay the iniquity of fathers into the bosom of their children after them. O great and mighty God. Jehovah of Hosts is his name. You are great in counsel and mighty in deed. Your eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men. You give to everyone according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds.
Straying » Who strays from the right path
There arose false prophets among the people. There will be false teachers among you! They will privately bring in destructive heresies (contrary doctrines), denying even the Master who bought them. They bring swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their lascivious (filthy sensual) deeds. The way of the truth will be maligned. They speak evil words about you because of their extreme greed. They will exploit you with false evil words. Their judgment from long ago is not idle. Their destruction will not delay. read more.
God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to captivity in pits of darkness reserved for judgment! He did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly! He turned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them with an overthrow, and made them an example to those who are ungodly. He delivered righteous Lot, who was very distressed by the lustful life of the wicked. That righteous man that dwelled among them was tormented by the lawless deeds he saw and heard. Jehovah knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to preserve the unrighteous for the Day of Judgment. (Psalm 34:19) (Matthew 25:46) This is primarily for those who indulge the flesh in its corrupt desires and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they do not tremble at glorious ones but speak abusively. Angels, though greater in might and power, do not bring an accusation of abusive judgment against them before Jehovah. But these are creatures without reason. They were born mere animals to be taken and destroyed! They speak abusively in matters of which they are ignorant. They suffer destruction in their own course of destruction. They suffer wrong as their reward for wrongdoing. They are men that count it pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are spots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions while they feast with you. They have eyes full of adultery that cannot cease from sin! They entice unsteady persons. Their hearts are full of covetousness. They are children of cursing. They went astray, forsaking the right way. They followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrongdoing. He was rebuked for his own transgression. A beast of burden spoke with a man's voice and restrained (hindered) the madness of the prophet. These are springs without water, and mists driven by a storm, for whom the gloom of darkness has been reserved. For, uttering arrogant words of vanity, they entice in the desires (lusts) of the flesh, by sensuality (lasciviousness), those who are just escaping from the ones who live in error. They promise them freedom, while they are bondservants of corruption. A man is brought into bondage by one and enslaved by another.

There are those who rebel against the light. They are not acquainted with its ways, and do not stay in its paths. The murderer rises at dusk to kill the poor and needy, and in the night is like a thief. The eye of the adulterer also waits for the twilight. He says: 'No eye will see me.' Then he disguises his face. read more.
In the dark they dig through houses. By day they shut themselves up. They do not know the light. For deep darkness is morning to all of them. They are friends with the terrors of deep darkness. Swift are they on the face of the waters. Their portion in the land is cursed! No treader turns toward their vineyards.

Discretion will protect you. Understanding will watch over you. It will deliver you from the way of evil, from the man who speaks perverse things. Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness? read more.
Who rejoice in doing evil? They delight in the perversity of the wicked. The wicked are crooked. They are devious in their ways. You will be able to resist any immoral woman who tries to seduce you with her smooth talk. She is unfaithful to her own husband and forgets her sacred vows to God. If you go to her house, you are traveling the road to death. To go there is to approach the dead. No one who visits her ever comes back. He cannot return to the road to life.

The ways of man are before the eyes of Jehovah. He ponders all his paths. His own iniquities will catch the wicked. He will be held with the cords of his sins. He dies without instruction. He goes astray because of his foolishness.
