5 Counsel in a man’s heart is deep water; but a man of understanding draws it out.
6 Many a man proclaims his own loyalty,but who can find a trustworthy man?
7 The one who lives with integrity is righteous; his children who come after him will be happy.
8 A king sitting on a throne to judgesifts out all evil with his eyes.
9 Who can say, “I have kept my heart pure;I am cleansed from my sin”?
10 Differing weights and varying measures —both are detestable to the Lord.
11 Even a young man is known by his actions —if his behavior is pure and upright.
