⁹ Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?

¹⁰ I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

⁷ Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

⁸ For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

¹⁶ With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.

² Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?

³⁶ My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men.

²¹ Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

²³ Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

²² Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.
