NETBible

NET Notes

tn Heb “weighs” (so NASB, NIV, NRSV) meaning “tests” or “evaluates.”

sn The verse completes the saying by affirming that people will be judged responsible for helping those in mortal danger. The verse uses a series of rhetorical questions to affirm that God knows our hearts and we cannot plead ignorance.
