Proverbs 20:5-11

New International Version

⁵ The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters,^(A)
    but one who has insight draws them out.

⁶ Many claim to have unfailing love,
    but a faithful person who can find?^(B)

⁷ The righteous lead blameless lives;^(C)
    blessed are their children after them.^(D)

⁸ When a king sits on his throne to judge,^(E)
    he winnows out all evil with his eyes.^(F)

⁹ Who can say, “I have kept my heart pure;^(G)
    I am clean and without sin”?^(H)

¹⁰ Differing weights and differing measures—
    the Lord detests them both.^(I)

¹¹ Even small children are known by their actions,
    so is their conduct really pure^(J) and upright?
