Thoughts

Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great upon the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was altogether evil all the time.

“So my anxious thoughts compel me to answer, because of the turmoil within me.

Behold, I know your thoughts full well, the schemes by which you would wrong me.

All day long they twist my words; all their thoughts are on my demise.

How great are Your works, O LORD, how deep are Your thoughts!

The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.

You know when I sit and when I rise; You understand my thoughts from afar.

How precious to me are Your thoughts, O God, how vast is their sum!

The LORD detests the thoughts of the wicked, but the words of the pure are pleasant to Him.

Do not curse the king even in your thoughts, or curse the rich even in your bedroom, for a bird of the air may carry your words, and a winged creature may report your speech.

Let the wicked man forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that He may have compassion, and to our God, for He will freely pardon.

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD.

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD.

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so My ways are higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so My ways are higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.

Their feet run to evil; they are swift to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are sinful thoughts; ruin and destruction lie in their wake.

Their feet run to evil; they are swift to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are sinful thoughts; ruin and destruction lie in their wake.

“And I, knowing their deeds and thoughts, am coming to gather all nations and tongues, and they will come and see My glory.

Wash the evil from your heart, O Jerusalem, so that you may be saved. How long will you harbor wicked thoughts within you?

And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me and told me to declare that this is what the LORD says: “That is what you are thinking, O house of Israel; and I know the thoughts that arise in your minds.

This is what the Lord GOD says: On that day, thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will devise an evil plan.

As you lay on your bed, O king, your thoughts turned to the future, and the Revealer of Mysteries made known to you what will happen.

And to me this mystery has been revealed, not because I have more wisdom than any man alive, but in order that the interpretation might be made known to the king, and that you may understand the thoughts of your mind.

For a time, Daniel, who was also known as Belteshazzar, was perplexed, and his thoughts alarmed him. So the king said, “Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its interpretation alarm you.” “My lord,” replied Belteshazzar, “may the dream apply to those who hate you, and its interpretation to your enemies!

…his face grew pale and his thoughts so alarmed him that his hips gave way and his knees knocked together.

Hearing the outcry of the king and his nobles, the queen entered the banquet hall. “O king, may you live forever!” she said. “Do not let your thoughts terrify you, or your face grow pale.

Thus ends the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts troubled me greatly, and my face turned pale. But I kept the matter to myself.”

For behold, He who forms the mountains, who creates the wind and reveals His thoughts to man, who turns the dawn to darkness and strides on the heights of the earth—the LORD, the God of Hosts, is His name.”

But they do not know the thoughts of the LORD or understand His plan, for He has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor.

Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.

For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander.

For from within the hearts of men come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,

He has performed mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who are proud in the thoughts of their hearts.

…so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed—and a sword will pierce your soul as well.”

But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and stand among us.” So he got up and stood there.

But Jesus, knowing the thoughts of their hearts, had a little child stand beside Him.

Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and a house divided against a house will fall.

So they show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts either accusing or defending them

For who among men knows the thoughts of man except his own spirit within him? So too, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.

For who among men knows the thoughts of man except his own spirit within him? So too, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.

And again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”

All of us also lived among them at one time, fulfilling the cravings of our flesh and indulging its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature children of wrath.

For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

…have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
