”WHO CAN KNOW IT?” Jeremiah 17:9 King James Version (KJV) 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Our text then inquires, “Who can know it?” (Jer. 17:9). Certainly not man himself, for “he who trusts in his own heart is a fool” (Prov. 28:26). There is only One who can tell us anything about our true spiritual reflection, and that is God who searches our hearts (Jer. 17:10). God, who knows, says we deceive no one but ourselves if we think we have no sin (1 Jn. 1:8). His Word clarifies the picture, for it is “a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (Heb. 4:12). Only as we measure ourselves by God’s standard will we see that only then will we realize the urgent necessity of salvation and accept His gracious offer of cleansing.!
