Proverbs 20:11

Compare all

9 ^aWho can say, “I have made my heart clean,
I am pure from my sin”?

10 ^aDiverse weights and diverse measures,
They are both alike, an abomination to the Lord.

11 Even a child is ^aknown by his deeds,
Whether what he does is pure and right.

12 ^aThe hearing ear and the seeing eye,
The Lord has made them both.

13 ^aDo not love sleep, lest you come to poverty;
Open your eyes, and you will be satisfied with bread.

Proverbs 20:11

The graces or the faults of children are not trifles. "The child is father of the man;" and the earliest actions are prophecies of the future, whether it will be pure and right, or unclean and evil.
