The thoughts and intents of the heart
Yes, he will bring to light not the hidden works of darkness only, but the very thoughts and intents of the heart. And what wonder? For he searches the inward parts, and understands all our thoughts. All things are naked and open to the eyes of him with whom we have to do. Hell and destruction are before him without a covering. How much more the hearts of the children of men?

6. Yea, he will bring to light not the hidden works of darkness only, but the very thoughts and intents of the hearts. And what marvel? For he searcheth the reins, and understandeth all our thoughts. All things are naked and open to the eyes of him with whom we have to do. Hell and destruction are before him without a covering. How much more the hearts of the children of men?
