Jeremiah 17:5-10

17:5 Thus
says the LORD: Cursed are those who trust in mere mortals and make mere
flesh their strength, whose hearts turn away from the LORD.

17:6 They
shall be like a shrub in the desert and shall not see when relief
comes. They shall live in the parched places of the wilderness, in an
uninhabited salt land.

17:7 Blessed are those who trust in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD.

17:8 They
shall be like a tree planted by water, sending out its roots by the
stream. It shall not fear when heat comes, and its leaves shall stay
green; in the year of drought it is not anxious, and it does not cease
to bear fruit.

17:9 The heart is devious above all else; it is perverse-- who can understand it?

17:10 I
the LORD test the mind and search the heart, to give to all according
to their ways, according to the fruit of their doings.
