Jeremiah 17:8 BBE

⁶  For he will be like the brushwood in the upland, and will not see when good comes; but his living-place will be in the dry places in the waste land, in a salt and unpeopled land.

⁷  A blessing is on the man who puts his faith in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.

⁸  For he will be like a tree planted by the waters, pushing out its roots by the stream; he will have no fear when the heat comes, but his leaf will be green; in a dry year he will have no care, and will go on giving fruit.

⁹  The heart is a twisted thing, not to be searched out by man: who is able to have knowledge of it?

¹⁰  I the Lord am the searcher of the heart, the tester of the thoughts, so that I may give to every man the reward of his ways, in keeping with the fruit of his doings.
