Jeremiah 17:9 Context
7Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. 8For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her rootes by the riuer, and shall not see when heate commeth, but her leafe shall be greene, and shall not be carefull in the yeere of drought, neither shall cease from yeelding fruit. 9¶ The heart is deceitfull aboue all things, and desperately wicked, who can know it? 10I the Lord search the heart, I try the reines, euen to giue euery man according to his waies, and according to the fruit of his doings. 11As the partrich sitteth on egges, and hatcheth them not: so he that getteth riches and not by right, shall leaue them in the midst of his dayes, and at his end shall be a foole.
