¹¹ Sheol^[a] and Abaddon^[b] are before Yahweh,
    how much more^[c] the hearts of the children of men!

² All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes,
    but Yahweh weighs the spirit.^[a]

³ A crucible is for the silver, and a furnace is for the gold,
    but Yahweh will test hearts.

¹¹ Even by his acts, a young man^[a] will make himself known,
    whether his acts are pure and upright.

²⁷ The lamp of Yahweh is the spirit^[a] of humankind,
    he who searches every innermost part.^[b]

² Every way of a man is upright in his own eyes,
    but Yahweh weighs hearts.^[a]

¹⁹ As the waters reflect face to face,^[a]
    so the heart of a person reflects the person.
