DEUT1577 All this is Divine justice because, in your hidden thoughts and secret intentions, you chose either to rebel against Him rather than serve Him, or to serve Him rather than rebel against Him. For your outward appearance and inward disposition are equally known to Him, and He will repay you for all that He observes in you, even if it remains hidden from other people. Do you not see that a judge decides according to what has been established before him as fact, whether by witnesses or by his own senses? If he could establish what was in the mind, he would also take that into account in his decision. Since the Creator, may He be exalted, knows everything equally, it follows that He judge according to His knowledge. As it says in Scripture, “The hidden things belong to Hashem our God” (Devarim 29:28).
