Jeremiah
"The heart is deceitful above all things"
Text: Jeremiah 17:9
THE HUMAN HEART
God’s view of the human heart is not quite the same as human opinion. His view of the state of the human heart is explained.
“The heart is deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked;
Who can know it?
I, the LORD, search the heart,
I test the mind,
Even to give every man according to his ways,
According to the fruit of his doings.
As a partridge that broods but does not hatch,
So is he who gets riches, but not by right;
It will leave him in the midst of his days,
And at his end he will be a fool.”
Jeremiah 17:9-11
