"I love to lie but hate being lied to. I love to cheat but hate being cheated. I love to cause pain but hate being hurt. I love to steal but hate to be stolen from. I love being critical but hate to be criticized. Who am I? I am the human heart and I am incurably wicked in my own power."
"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperatley wicked (Hebrew: 'anash, meaning sick, ill at ease, scarcely curable), who can know it?"
Jeremiah 17:9
