The Deceitful Heart

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 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}, test [the] {heart}, and give to each one according to his way, according to the fruit of his deeds.
