Proverbs 20:5-12 God's Word Translation (GW)

5. A motive in the human heart is like deep water,and a person who has understanding draws it out.

6. Many people declare themselves loyal,but who can find someone who is ⌊really⌋ trustworthy?

7. A righteous person lives on the basis of his integrity.Blessed are his children after he is gone.

8. A king who sits on his throne to judge sifts out every evil with his eyes.

9. Who can say,“I’ve made my heart pure.I’m cleansed from my sin”?

10. A double standard of weights and measures—both are disgusting to the Lord.

11. Even a child makes himself known by his actions,whether his deeds are pure or right.

12. The ear that hears,the eye that sees—the Lord made them both.
