With all my heart I have sought You, do not let me stray from Your commandments. This heart can lead the righteous to the Garden of Eden, while the heart of the wicked brings them down to Gehenna. As it is written, "Behold, My servants shall eat, but you shall be hungry; behold, My servants shall drink, but you shall be thirsty; behold, My servants shall rejoice, but you shall be put to shame" (Isaiah 65:13-14). And so David said to his son Solomon, "And you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a whole heart and a willing mind; for the Lord searches all hearts, and understands every intent of the thoughts" (1 Chronicles 28:9).
