The purpose in a man's heart is like (A)deep water,
    but a man of understanding will draw it out.
Many a man (B)proclaims his own steadfast love,
    but (C)a faithful man who can find?
The righteous who (D)walks in his integrity—
    (E)blessed are his children after him!
(F)A king who sits on the throne of judgment
    (G)winnows all evil with his eyes.
(H)Who can say, “I have made my heart pure;
    I am clean from my sin”?
10 (I)Unequal[a] weights and unequal measures
    are both alike an abomination to the Lord.
