Proverbs 15:11; Proverbs 16:2; Proverbs 17:3; Proverbs 20:11; Proverbs 20:27; Proverbs 21:2; Proverbs 27:19

11  Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the Lord;

how much more tthe hearts of the children of man!


mAll the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes,

but the Lord nweighs the spirit.1


pThe crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold,

qand the Lord tests hearts.


11  Even a child pmakes himself known by his acts,

by whether his conduct is pure and upright.1


27  rThe spirit1 of man is the lamp of the Lord,

ssearching all this innermost parts.


zEvery way of a man is right in his own eyes,

but the Lord aweighs the heart.


19  As in water face reflects face,

so the heart of man reflects the man.
