5 Understanding a person’s thoughts is as hard as getting water from a deep well.But someone with understanding can find the wisdom there.
6 Many people claim to be loyal.But it is hard to find someone who really can be trusted.
7 The good person who lives an honest lifeis a blessing to his children.
8 A king sits on his throne and judges people.He knows evil when he sees it.
9 No one can say, “I am innocent.I have never done anything wrong.”
10 The Lord hates both these things:dishonest weights and dishonest measures.
11 Even a child is known by his behavior.His actions show if he is innocent and good.
