⁹ “As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and ^(A)serve Him with ^[a]a whole heart and a delighted soul; ^(B)for Yahweh searches all hearts, and understands every intent of the thoughts. ^(C)If you seek Him, He will be found; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever.

²⁴ but let him who boasts ^(A)boast in this, that he ^[a]understands and knows Me, that I am Yahweh who ^(B)shows lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness on earth; for I ^(C)delight in these things,” declares Yahweh.
