Job 5:27
King James Version
12 Jun 2026
“Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good. ”
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.
