Verse 11 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.

Auch einen Knaben kennt man an seinem Wesen, ob er fromm und redlich werden will.
Aun el muchacho es conocido por sus hechos, Si su obra fuere limpia y recta.
Hasta el muchacho se da a conocer por sus hechos, que muestran si su conducta es pura y recta.
L'enfant laisse déjà voir par ses actions Si sa conduite sera pure et droite.
Fin da fanciullo l’uomo è riconosciuto da’ suoi atti, Se egli sarà puro, e se le sue opere saranno diritte
Até a criança se dará a conhecer pelas suas ações, se a sua obra é pura e reta.
孩童的行動或純潔,或正直, 都以行為顯明自己。
