NET Notes

¹tn Heb “weighs” (so NASB, NIV, NRSV) meaning “tests” or “evaluates.”

²sn 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.
