Context Readings

The Deceitful Heart

9 Among all things living, man hath the most deceitful and unsearchable heart. Who shall then know it? 10 "Even I the LORD search out the ground of the heart, and try the reins, and reward every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his counsels." 11 The deceitful maketh a nest, but bringeth forth no young: He cometh by riches, but not righteously. In the midst of his life must he leave them behind him, and at the last be found a very fool.
