Verse 21
Shall not God search this out ?....

for he knoweth the secrets of the heart ; whether the heart is turned back, or there is any inclination to apostatize from God, or his name is forgotten in it; as well as whether in fact the hand has been stretched out, or prayer made to a strange god, Jeremiah 17:9 .
