Jeremiah 17:6-10

“For he will be like a bush in the desert, And will not see when prosperity comes, But will live in stony wastes in the wilderness, A land of salt that is not inhabited.

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose trust is the Lord.

“For he will be like a tree planted by the water That extends its roots by a stream, And does not fear when the heat comes; But its leaves will be green, And it will not be anxious in a year of drought, Nor cease to yield fruit.

“The heart is more deceitful than all else And is desperately sick; Who can understand it?

“I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, To give to each person according to his ways, According to the results of his deeds.
