⁸ For he will be like a tree planted by water,
    and to the stream it sends its roots,
and it will not fear when heat comes,
    and its leaves^[a] will be luxuriant,
and in the year of drought it will not be anxious,
    and it will not cease from the bearing of fruit.
⁹ The heart is deceitful more than anything else,
    and it is disastrous. Who can understand it?
¹⁰ I, Yahweh, examine the mind,^[b]
    I test the heart,^[c]
and give to each one according to his way,
    according to the fruit of his deeds.
