Jeremiah 17:9

The Deceitful Heart

⁸ For he will be like a tree planted by the waters, pushing out its roots by the stream; he will have no fear when the heat comes, but his leaf will be green; in a dry year he will have no care, and will go on giving fruit. ⁹ The heart is a twisted thing, not to be searched out by man: who is able to have knowledge of it? ¹⁰ I the Lord am the searcher of the heart, the tester of the thoughts, so that I may give to every man the reward of his ways, in keeping with the fruit of his doings.
