He will be like a tree planted near water [C vital and strong]
    that sends its roots by a stream [Ps. 1:3].
It is not afraid when the ·days are hot [L heat comes];
    its leaves are always green.
It ·does not worry [is not anxious] in a year ·when no rain comes [of drought];
    it always produces fruit.

“·More than anything else [T Above all things], ·a person’s mind is evil [T the heart is deceitful; L the heart is devious/crooked]
    and ·cannot be healed [T desperately wicked; L it is perverse/sick].
    Who can ·understand [know] it?
10 But I, the Lord, ·look into a person’s [investigate/test the] heart
    and test the ·mind [L kidneys].
·So I can decide what each one deserves [L …to give to each according to his way/path];
    I can give each one the right payment for what he does.”
