Context of Proverbs 20:7
5A plan in the heart of a man is like deep water, But a man of understanding draws it out. 6Many a man proclaims his own loyalty, But who can find a trustworthy man? A righteous man who walks in his integrity-- How blessed are his sons after him. 8A king who sits on the throne of justice Disperses all evil with his eyes. 9Who can say, “I have cleansed my heart, I am pure from my sin”?
