Jeremiah 17:7 in Context (Verses 4–10 KJV)
4
And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn for ever.*
5
¶ Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
6
For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.
7
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
8
For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.*
9
¶ The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
10
I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
