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 NIV)
