But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
whose confidence is in him.
He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.

The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure.
Who can understand it?

I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind,
to reward a man according to his conduct,
according to what his deeds deserve.

- Jeremiah 17:7-10
