Jeremiah 17:8-10

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸They shall be like a tree planted by water,
    sending out its roots by the stream.
It shall not fear when heat comes,
    and its leaves shall stay green;
in the year of drought it is not anxious,
    and it does not cease to bear fruit.

⁹The heart is devious above all else;
    it is perverse—
    who can understand it?
¹⁰I the Lord test the mind
    and search the heart,
to give to all according to their ways,
    according to the fruit of their doings.
