⁸ He will be like a tree planted by the water
    that sends out its roots by a stream.
He won’t fear when the heat comes,
    and his leaves will be green.
In a year of drought he won’t be concerned,
    nor will he stop producing fruit.”

⁹ “The heart is more deceitful than anything.
    It is incurable—
        who can know it?
¹⁰ I am the Lord who searches the heart,
    who tests the inner depths
to give to each person
    according to what he deserves,^[a]
        according to the fruit of his deeds.
