Jeremiah 17:8-10
New American Standard Bible
8 For he will be like a (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 (B)drought,
Nor cease to yield fruit.
9 “The (C)heart is more (D)deceitful than all else
And is desperately (E)sick;
Who can understand it?
10 I, the Lord, (F)search the heart,
I test the [a]mind,
(G)To give to each person according to his ways,
According to the [b]results of his deeds.
