    But the Lord tests our hearts.

¹¹ Even small children are known by their actions.
    So is their conduct really pure and right?

²⁷ The spirit of a person is the lamp of the Lord.
    It lights up what is deep down inside them.

² A person might think their own ways are right.
    But the Lord knows what they are thinking.

¹⁹ When you look into water, you see a likeness of your face.
    When you look into your heart, you see what you are really like.
