Jeremiah 17:9
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?
In context
7 But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in Him.
8 He is like a tree planted by the waters that sends out its roots toward the stream. It does not fear when the heat comes, and its leaves are always green. It does not worry in a year of drought, nor does it cease to produce fruit.
9 The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?
10 I, the LORD, search the heart; I examine the mind to reward a man according to his way, by what his deeds deserve.
11 Like a partridge hatching eggs it did not lay is the man who makes a fortune unjustly. In the middle of his days his riches will desert him, and in the end he will be the fool.”
