Proverbs 15:11 (Listen)

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.

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

[1] 20:11 Or Even a child can dissemble in his actions, though his conduct seems pure and upright

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

ssearching all this innermost parts.

[1] 20:27 Hebrew breath

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.
