11 [a](A)Sheol and [b]Abaddon lie open before the Lord,How much more the (B)hearts of [c]mankind!
2 All the ways of a person are clean in his own sight,But the (A)Lord examines the [a]motives.
3 The (A)refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold,But (B)the Lord tests hearts.
11 It is by his deeds that a boy [a](A)distinguishes himself,If his conduct is pure and right.
27 The [a](A)spirit of a person is the lamp of the Lord,Searching all the [b]innermost parts of his being.
2 (A)Every person’s way is right in his own eyes,But the Lord (B)examines the hearts.
19 As in water a face reflects the face,So the heart of a person reflects the person.
