For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
Do you listen in on God’s council? Do you have a monopoly on wisdom?
Each heart knows its own bitterness, and no one else can share its joy.
The human spirit is the lamp of the Lord that sheds light on one’s inmost being.
The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out.
The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?
To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit,
these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
