Jeremiah 17:9 in Context — Jeremiah 17
7 Béni soit l’homme qui se confie dans l’Éternel, Et dont l’Éternel est l’espérance!
8 Il est comme un arbre planté près des eaux, Et qui étend ses racines vers le courant; Il n’aperçoit point la chaleur quand elle vient, Et son feuillage reste vert; Dans l’année de la sécheresse, il n’a point de crainte, Et il ne cesse de porter du fruit.
9 Le cœur est tortueux par-dessus tout, et il est méchant: Qui peut le connaître?
10 Moi, l’Éternel, j’éprouve le cœur, je sonde les reins, Pour rendre à chacun selon ses voies, Selon le fruit de ses œuvres.
11 Comme une perdrix qui couve des œufs qu’elle n’a point pondus, Tel est celui qui acquiert des richesses injustement; Au milieu de ses jours il doit les quitter, Et à la fin il n’est qu’un insensé.
