How do we know that the heart is deceitful according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Jeremiah 17:9 declares that the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked.

The Bible emphasizes the corrupt and deceitful nature of the human heart in Jeremiah 17:9, which states, 'The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked; who can know it?' This verse reveals the intrinsic moral corruption found in all humans. Additionally, Genesis 6:5 reinforces this idea by noting that the thoughts of man's heart were only evil continually. Thus, scripture consistently affirms that the heart is the source of evil thoughts and actions.
