Jeremiah 17:5-10

5ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068: CursedH779 is the manH120 that trusteth in manH120, and maketh fleshH1320 his armH2220, and whoseH834 heartH3820 departeth from the LORDH3068.

6For he shall be like the heath in the desertH6160, and shall notH3808 seeH7200 when goodH2896 cometh; but shall inhabitH3427 the parched places in the wildernessH4057, a saltH4420 landH776 and notH3808 inhabitedH3427.

7BlessedH1288 is the manH1397 that trusteth in the LORDH3068, and whoseH834 hope the LORDH3068 is.

8For he shall be as a treeH6086 plantedH8362 by the watersH4325, and that spreadeth outH7971 his rootsH8328 by the riverH3588, and shall notH3808 fearH3372 when heatH2527 cometh, but his leafH5929 shall be greenH7488; and shall notH3808 be careful in the yearH8141 of droughtH1226, neitherH3808 shall ceaseH4185 from yielding fruitH6529.

9The heartH3820 is deceitful aboveH3820 allH3605 things, and it is desperatelyH605 sickH605: who canH4310 knowH3045 it?

10I the LORDH3068 searchH2713 the heartH3820, I tryH974 the reins, even to giveH5414 everyH376 manH376 accordingH376 to his waysH1870, accordingH376 to the fruitH6529 of his doingsH4611.
