In context
5Counsel in a man’s heart is deep water, but a man of understanding draws it up. 6Many a man proclaims his own kindness, but a faithful man—who can find one? 7The righteous walks in his integrity; happy are his children after him. 8A king seated on the throne of judgment winnows out all evil with his eyes. 9Who can say, “I have kept my heart clean; I am pure of my sin”?
