Jeremiah 17:8-15 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

8. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out his roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat cometh, but his 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 it is desperately sick: who can know it?

10. I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.

11. As the partridge that gathereth young which she hath not brought forth, so is he that getteth riches, and not by right; in the midst of his days they shall leave him, and at his end he shall be a fool.

12. A glorious throne, set on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.

13. O Lord, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed; they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living waters.

14. Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.

15. Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the Lord? let it come now.
