Verse 9
The Old Testament frequently uses "heart" (Heb. leb) to identify the source of a person’s thinking and acting. It describes the root of unconscious as well as conscious motivation.
The human heart is deceptive; we may think we know why we do something, but really we may be doing it for another reason. It is naturally incurably sick, really totally depraved, and in need of healing. No one really understands his or her own corrupt heart, nor do we understand why our hearts behave as they do.
"Unregenerate human nature is in a desperate condition without divine grace . . ." [Note: Harrison, Jeremiah and . . ., p. 106.]
