¹¹ The grave^[a] and the underworld^[b] lie open before the Lord;
    how much more the hearts of human beings!

² All the ways of people
are pure in their eyes,
    but the Lord tests the motives.

³ A crucible is for silver and a furnace for gold,
    but the Lord tests the heart.

¹¹ Even young people are known by their actions,
    whether their conduct is pure and upright.

²⁷ The breath of a person is the lamp of the Lord,
    searching all the inmost parts.

² Everyone’s path is straight in their own eyes,
    but the Lord weighs the heart.

¹⁹ As water reflects the face,
    so the heart reflects one person to another.
