Proverbs 20:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ No one can say, “I have kept my heart pure.
    I’m ‘clean,’ and I haven’t sinned.”

¹⁰ The Lord hates two things.
    He hates weights that weigh things heavier or lighter than they really are.
    He also hates measures that measure things larger or smaller than they really are.

¹¹ Even small children are known by their actions.
    So is their conduct really pure and right?
