1 Kings 8:39

39 then listen from your heavenly dwelling place, forgive their sin, ^{▼▼tn The words “their sin” are added for clarification.} and act favorably toward each one based on your evaluation of his motives. ^{▼▼tn Heb “and act and give to each one according to all his ways because you know his heart.” In the Hebrew text vv. 37-39a actually contain one lengthy conditional sentence, which the translation has divided up for stylistic reasons.} (Indeed you are the only one who can correctly evaluate the motives of all people.) ^{▼▼tn Heb “Indeed you know, you alone, the heart of all the sons of mankind.”}
