Jeremiah 17:8-10
Holman Christian Standard Bible
8 He will be like a tree planted by water:(A)
it sends its roots out toward a stream,
it doesn’t fear when heat comes,
and its foliage remains green.
It will not worry in a year of drought
or cease producing fruit.
The Deceitful Heart
9 The heart is more deceitful than anything else,
and incurable—who can understand it?(B)
10 I, Yahweh, examine the mind,
I test the heart[a](C)
to give to each according to his way,
according to what his actions deserve.(D)
