5 Counsel in the heart of man
is like deep water,
But a man of understanding will draw it out.
6 Most men will proclaim each his own
1 goodness,
But who can find a faithful man?
7 aThe righteous
man walks in his integrity;
bHis children
are blessed after him.
8 A king who sits on the throne of judgment
Scatters all evil with his eyes.
9 aWho can say, “I have made my heart clean,
I am pure from my sin”?
