9 Who can say, “I have kept my heart pure; I am cleansed from my sin”?
Focused Passage
Proverbs 20:9
The LORD Searches the Heart: Sobriety, Justice, Counsel, Speech, and Honest Measures
The chapter moves from appetite and conflict, to hidden purposes and integrity, to royal justice and human impurity, to work and speech, to surety, fraud, counsel, and gossip, to family honor, inheritance, vengeance, and dishonest scales, and finally to providence, vows, royal judgment, the LORD's searching lamp, and painful correction.
