Jeremiah 17:8-10

Amplified Bible

⁸
“For he will be [nourished] like a tree planted by the waters,
That spreads out its roots by the river;
And will not fear the heat when it comes;
But its leaves will be green and moist.
And it will not be anxious and concerned in a year of drought
Nor stop bearing fruit.

⁹
“The heart is deceitful above all things
And it is ^[a]extremely sick;
Who can understand it fully and know its secret motives?^(A)
¹⁰
“I, the Lord, search and examine the mind,
I test the heart,
To give to each man according to his ways,
According to the results of his deeds.
