Know

Yet You concealed these things in Your heart, and I know that this was in Your mind:

…and disclose to you the secrets of wisdom, for true wisdom has two sides. Know then that God exacts from you less than your iniquity deserves.

They are higher than the heavens—what can you do? They are deeper than Sheol—what can you know?

But I also have a mind; I am not inferior to you. Who does not know such things as these?

Which of all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this?

What you know, I also know; I am not inferior to you.

See now, I have prepared my case; I know that I will be vindicated.

What do you know that we do not? What do you understand that is not clear to us?

Surely such is the dwelling of the wicked and the place of one who does not know God.”

But I know that my Redeemer lives, and in the end He will stand upon the earth.

…then you should fear the sword yourselves, because wrath brings punishment by the sword, so that you may know there is a judgment.”

Do you not know that from antiquity, since man was placed on the earth,

Yet they say to God: ‘Leave us alone! For we have no desire to know Your ways.

It is said that God lays up one’s punishment for his children. Let God repay the man himself, so he will know it.

Behold, I know your thoughts full well, the schemes by which you would wrong me.

Yet you say: ‘What does God know? Does He judge through thick darkness?

“Why does the Almighty not reserve times for judgment? Why may those who know Him never see His days?

No man can know its value, nor is it found in the land of the living.

Yes, I know that You will bring me down to death, to the place appointed for all the living.

…let God weigh me with honest scales, that He may know my integrity.

So Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite declared: “I am young in years, while you are old; that is why I was timid and afraid to tell you what I know.

Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me; I too will declare what I know.’

I too will answer; yes, I will declare what I know.

For I do not know how to flatter, or my Maker would remove me in an instant.

My words are from an upright heart, and my lips speak sincerely what I know.

Should God repay you on your own terms when you have disavowed Him? You must choose, not I; so tell me what you know.

He seals up the hand of every man, so that all men may know His work.

Do you know how God dispatches the clouds or makes the lightning flash?

Surely you know, for you were already born! And the number of your days is great!

Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you set their dominion over the earth?

“Do you know when mountain goats give birth? Have you watched the doe bear her fawn?

Can you count the months they are pregnant? Do you know the time they give birth?

“I know that You can do all things and that no plan of Yours can be thwarted.

You asked, ‘Who is this who conceals My counsel without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.

Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for Himself; the LORD hears when I call to Him.

Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.

Lay terror upon them, O LORD; let the nations know they are but men. Selah

Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He answers him from His holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand.

Hostile witnesses come forward; they make charges I know nothing about.

But when I stumbled, they assembled in glee; they gathered together against me. Assailants I did not know slandered me without ceasing.

Extend Your loving devotion to those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright in heart.

“Show me, O LORD, my end and the measure of my days. Let me know how fleeting my life is.

Then my enemies will retreat on the day I cry for help. By this I will know that God is on my side.

You know my folly, O God, and my guilt is not hidden from You.

You know my reproach, my shame and disgrace. All my adversaries are before You.

My mouth will declare Your righteousness and Your salvation all day long, though I cannot know their full measure.

The wicked say, “How can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?”

…that the coming generation would know them—even children yet to be born—to arise and tell their own children

They do not know or understand; they wander in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

May they know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, are Most High over all the earth.

“I will mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me—along with Philistia, Tyre, and Cush—when I say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”

Blessed are those who know the joyful sound, who walk, O LORD, in the light of Your presence.

A senseless man does not know, and a fool does not understand,

Know that the LORD is God. It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.

A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know nothing of evil.

Let them know that this is Your hand, that You, O LORD, have done it.

I know, O LORD, that Your judgments are righteous, and that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.

May those who fear You turn to me, those who know Your testimonies.

I am Your servant; give me understanding, that I may know Your testimonies.

For I know that the LORD is great; our Lord is above all gods.

You know when I sit and when I rise; You understand my thoughts from afar.

Even before a word is on my tongue, You know all about it, O LORD.

I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Your works, and I know this very well.

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my concerns.

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my concerns.

I know that the LORD upholds justice for the poor and defends the cause of the needy.

Although my spirit grows faint within me, You know my way. Along the path I travel they have hidden a snare for me.

He has done this for no other nation; they do not know His judgments. Hallelujah!

But the way of the wicked is like the darkest gloom; they do not know what makes them stumble.

She does not consider the path of life; she does not know that her ways are unstable.

But they do not know that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.

The lips of the righteous know what is fitting, but the mouth of the wicked is perverse.

“They struck me, but I feel no pain! They beat me, but I did not know it! When can I wake up to search for another drink?”

If you say, “Behold, we did not know about this,” does not He who weighs hearts consider it? Does not the One who guards your life know? Will He not repay a man according to his deeds?

If you say, “Behold, we did not know about this,” does not He who weighs hearts consider it? Does not the One who guards your life know? Will He not repay a man according to his deeds?

Know therefore that wisdom is sweet to your soul. If you find it, there is a future for you, and your hope will never be cut off.

Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.

Be sure to know the state of your flocks, and pay close attention to your herds;

A stingy man hastens after wealth and does not know that poverty awaits him.

Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in His hands? Who has bound up the waters in His cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is the name of His Son—surely you know!

So I set my mind to know wisdom and madness and folly; I learned that this, too, is a pursuit of the wind.

I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and do good while they live,

I know that everything God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it or taken from it. God does it so that they should fear Him.

Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Draw near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong.

For you know in your heart that many times you yourself have cursed others.

Although a sinner does evil a hundred times and still lives long, yet I also know that it will go well with those who fear God, who are reverent in His presence.

When I applied my mind to know wisdom and to observe the task that one performs on the earth—though his eyes do not see sleep in the day or even in the night—

I saw every work of God, and that a man is unable to comprehend the work that is done under the sun. Despite his efforts to search it out, he cannot find its meaning; even if the wise man claims to know, he is unable to comprehend.

So I took all this to heart and concluded that the righteous and the wise, as well as their deeds, are in God’s hands. Man does not know what lies ahead, whether love or hate.
