Exegesis
The construct libbot {לִבּ֥וֹת | lib-bōt} ‘hearts’ followed by bnei-Adam {בְּֽנֵי־אָדָם | bə-ne-ye-’ā-ḏām} ‘children of man’ shifts focus from cosmic realms to human interiority, intensifying the theological message that if Sheol and Abaddon are exposed before God, human minds are even more transparent.
In context — Proverbs 15:11
Sheol and Abaddon are before the LORD ; how much more the hearts of the children of men.
