11  Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the Lord;

how much more ^tthe hearts of the children of man!

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

but the Lord ⁿweighs the spirit.¹

3  ^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.

2  ^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.
