Connect Job 13:9 with Proverbs 15:3 on God's omniscience.

Job Reminds Us God Cannot Be Fooled

Job 13:9: “Would it be well when He examines you? Could you deceive Him like a mortal?”

• Job confronts his friends’ shallow arguments by pointing them back to God’s perfect knowledge.

• “Examine” pictures a courtroom searchlight: every fact, motive, and hidden thought laid bare (cf. Psalm 139:1).

• Because God is not “like a mortal,” any attempt at religious posturing crumbles. He sees through polished words to the heart (1 Samuel 16:7).

Proverbs Confirms God’s All-Seeing Eyes

Proverbs 15:3: “The eyes of the LORD are in every place, observing the wicked and the good.”

• “Every place” leaves no loophole—dark corners, distant lands, private thoughts (Jeremiah 23:24).

• God’s gaze is balanced: He notes both “the wicked and the good.” Nothing escapes notice; nothing good goes unnoticed (Matthew 6:4).

• The verse complements Job 13:9 by shifting from courtroom scrutiny to continuous surveillance—omnipresence paired with omniscience.

Shared Truth: God’s Omniscience Is Comprehensive

• Scope: past, present, future (Isaiah 46:9-10).

• Depth: actions, words, meditations of the heart (Psalm 139:4; Hebrews 4:13).

• Equality: kings and commoners, friends and foes—no favoritism, only truth (Romans 2:11).

Living in Light of Omniscience

• Integrity: live transparently; the God who can’t be deceived invites honest confession (1 John 1:9).

• Comfort: the same eyes that expose sin also notice faithfulness, suffering, and unseen obedience (2 Chronicles 16:9).

• Reverence: cultivate holy fear, knowing every choice is made before the One who “examines” and “observes.”

• Worship: praise Him for wisdom that never errs and vision that never dims (Psalm 147:5).

When Job’s courtroom challenge and Solomon’s proverb meet, they declare one unified message: the Lord sees all, knows all, and therefore can be trusted with all.
