Jeremiah 17:9 reads: "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?"
Which is followed by v. 10: "I the Lord search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds."
Who can weigh the content of their own heart? Even the most self-aware person can be unable to see the obvious parts of themselves. But even more so, we do not have the ability to weigh our sin against the holy perfection of God. Only God can truly weigh our heart's content. Being holy, He alone can truly ascertain the depth of sin's pervasive venom in our hearts. This is why He had to forgive us from our sin, because only He could know how deep our sin disorder went. Praise be God that knowing our hearts He sent His Son to forgive us and restore right relationship with us!
