⁵ Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water;
But a man of understanding will draw it out.
^6 [a]Most men will proclaim every one his own kindness;
But a faithful man who can find?

⁹ Who can say, I have made my heart clean,
I am pure from my sin?

²⁹ The glory of young men is their strength;
And the beauty of old men is the hoary head.
