2 All a person’s ways seem pure to them,

but motives are weighed by the Lord.

2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes;

But the Lord weigheth the spirits.

2 People may be pure in their own eyes,

but the Lord examines their motives.

2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes,

But the Lord weighs the spirits.

2 You may believe you are doing right,

but the Lord will judge your reasons.

2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes;

But Jehovah weigheth the spirits.

2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but Jehovah weigheth the spirits.

2 A person thinks all his ways are pure, 

but the Lord weighs motives. 

2 All a man’s ways seem right to him,

but the Lord evaluates the motives.

2 All one’s ways may be pure in one’s own eyes,

but the Lord weighs the spirit.

2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes,

but Yahweh weighs the spirit.

2 Everything a man does might seem right to him.

But the Lord knows what that man is thinking.

2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own sight,

But the Lord weighs the motives.
