Study Note
'I the LORD search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds' — the divine self-description as the searcher of hearts (bochen kelayot valev, literally 'kidneys and heart') grounds just retribution in omniscient moral knowledge. The 'heart' (lev) in Hebrew thought was the seat of will and reason; 'kidneys' (kelayot) the seat of deep inner life — God's examination penetrates to what no human observer can access. The verse follows immediately the teaching on the incurably wicked heart (Jeremiah 17:9) and precedes the blessing-and-curse contrast of 17:7–8, situating moral evaluation in a context of both anthropological realism and divine discernment. The retributive principle 'according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds' is foundational for the biblical theology of judgment, appearing in Revelation 20:12 and Matthew 16:27.
