Jeremiah 17:9

The Deceitful Heart

⁸ They will be like a tree planted near a stream whose roots spread out toward the water. It has nothing to fear when the heat comes. Its leaves are always green. It has no need to be concerned in a year of drought. It does not stop bearing fruit. ⁹ The human mind is more deceitful than anything else. It is incurably bad. Who can understand it? ¹⁰ I, the Lord, probe into people's minds. I examine people's hearts. I deal with each person according to how he has behaved. I give them what they deserve based on what they have done.
