6. He will be like a bush in the wilderness.He will not see when something good comes.He will live in the dry places in the desert,in a salty land where no one can live.
7. Blessed is the person who trusts the Lord.The Lord will be his confidence.
8. He will be like a tree that is planted by water.It will send its roots down to a stream.It will not be afraid in the heat of summer.Its leaves will turn green.It will not be anxious during droughts.It will not stop producing fruit.
9. “The human mind is the most deceitful of all things. It is incurable.No one can understand how deceitful it is.
10. I, the Lord, search minds and test hearts.I will reward each person for what he has done.I will reward him for the results of his actions.
11. A person who gets rich dishonestly is like a partridgethat hatches eggs it did not lay.During his lifetime, he will lose his wealth.In the end, he will be a godless fool.”
