(A) They will be like trees
    growing beside a stream—
trees with roots that reach
    down to the water,
and with leaves
    that are always green.

and are never worried
    by a lack of rain.

    and your thoughts,
and I will make sure

They will be like a tree planted by the water

    its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought(B)
    and never fails to bear fruit.”(C)

The heart(D) is deceitful above all things
    and beyond cure.
    Who can understand it?

10 “I the Lord search the heart(E)
    and examine the mind,(F)
to reward(G) each person according to their conduct,
    according to what their deeds deserve.”(H)
