Jeremiah 17:8 Context
6For hee shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good commeth, but shall inhabite the parched places in the wildernesse, in a salt land and not inhabited. 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.
