I 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.

The verse 10 is found in chapter 17 of Jeremiah. Judah’s sin is engraved on its heart, not merely recorded in external actions. The contrast between one who trusts in humanity and one who trusts in Yahweh uses images of a dry shrub versus a tree planted beside waters. Jeremiah asks for justice against his persecutors and reaffirms that God examines the heart.

Ich, der HERR, kann das Herz ergründen und die Nieren prüfen und gebe einem jeglichen nach seinem Tun, nach den Früchten seiner Werke.
Yo Jehová, que escudriño el corazón, que pruebo los riñones, para dar a cada uno según su camino, según el fruto de sus obras.
Yo, Jehová, examino el corazón y pongo a prueba los sentimientos, para dar a cada uno según sus caminos, según el fruto de sus acciones.
Moi, l'Eternel, j'éprouve le coeur, je sonde les reins, Pour rendre à chacun selon ses voies, Selon le fruit de ses oeuvres.
Io, il Signore, che investigo i cuori, che provo le reni; e ciò, per rendere a ciascuno la retribuzione secondo le sue vie, secondo il frutto de’ suoi fatti.
Eu, o SENHOR, esquadrinho o coração e provo os rins; e isto para dar a cada um segundo os seus caminhos e segundo o fruto das suas ações.
我-耶和華是鑒察人心,考驗人肺腑的, 要按各人所行的和他做事的結果報應他。」
