Jeremiah 17:10
King James Version
7 Jun 2026
“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.”
חָקַר
To be fully known and not rejected — that is the miracle of Psalm 139. Chaqar is the searching of a jeweller examining a stone, a judge examining evidence. God has searched you completely. He knows the parts you hide from everyone else. And He has not turned away. That is the foundation of all confidence.
