Jeremiah 17:5-10

5ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “1CursedH779 is the manH1397 whoH834 trustsH982 in mankindH120 And makesH7760 2fleshH1320 his 3strengthH2220, And whose heartH3820 turnsH5493 awayH5493 from the LordH3068.6For he will be like a 4bushH6176 in the desertH6160, And will not seeH7200 whenH3588 prosperityH2896 comesH935, But will liveH7931 inH7931 stonyH2788 wastesH2788 in the wildernessH4057, A 5landH776 of saltH4420 that is not inhabitedH3427.76BlessedH1288 is the manH1397 whoH834 trustsH982 in the LordH3068, And whose 7trustH4009 is the LordH3068.8For he will be like a 8treeH6086 plantedH8362 by the waterH4325 That extendsH7971 its rootsH8328 by a streamH3105, And does not fearH3372 whenH3588 the heatH2527 comesH935; But its leavesH5929 will be greenH7488, And it will not be anxiousH1672 in a yearH8141 of 9droughtH1226, NorH3808 ceaseH4185 to yieldH6213 fruitH6529.

9“The 10heartH3820 is moreH4480 11deceitfulH6121 thanH4480 allH3605 else And is desperatelyH605 12sickH605; WhoH4310 can understandH3045 it?10I, the LordH3068, 13searchH2713 the heartH3820, I testH974 the 14mindH3629, 15To giveH5414 to eachH376 personH376 according to his waysH1870, According to the 16resultsH6529 of his deedsH4611.
