⁵Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.
⁶For 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.
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 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.
⁹The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
¹⁰I 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.
