Proverbs 15:11

¶ Hell and destruction [are] before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?

Hell {H7585} and destruction {H11} are before the LORD {H3068}: how much more then the hearts {H3826} of the children {H1121} of men {H120}?

Sh'ol and Abaddon lie open to ADONAI; so how much more people's hearts!

Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the LORD— how much more the hearts of men!

Sheol and Abaddon are before Jehovah; How much more then the hearts of the children of men!
