Verse 10 is found in chapter 20 of Proverbs. No one can claim absolute moral purity by his own means, while false measures reveal concrete dishonesty. The section challenges the human tendency to justify oneself and emphasizes that the Lord knows one’s actions. The ears and eyes God made imply moral responsibility. Silver, gold, and precious stones have value, but lips that communicate knowledge have greater value.
