Proverbs 21:2

²All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the motives.

²⁵There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.

¹⁵He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

¹⁰“I, the LORD, search the mind. I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.”

¹²There is a generation that is pure in their own eyes, yet are not washed from their filthiness.

⁷But the LORD said to Samuel, “Don’t look on his face, or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for I don’t see as man sees. For man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”

¹²If you say, “Behold, we didn’t know this,” doesn’t he who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, doesn’t he know it? Shall he not give to every man according to his work?

^22[+] But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.

¹¹The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. ¹²I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’

²For he flatters himself in his own eyes, too much to detect and hate his sin.
