⁹ “As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and ^(A)serve Him wholeheartedly and with a willing ^[a]mind; ^(B)for the Lord searches all hearts, and understands every intent of the thoughts. ^(C)If you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever.

³⁵ and a sword will pierce your own soul—to the end that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed.”

¹³ But all things become visible ^(A)when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light.
