Jeremiah 17:9-10 King James Version (KJV) The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

Jeremiah called their hearts "deceitful" and "desperately wicked." The word deceitful means "crooked, polluted or slippery." They simply couldn't be trusted. But even more tragic, this situation was terminal. The word translated "desperately wicked" is used elsewhere to mean "incurable" (2 Sam. 12:15; Jer. 15:18).

Jeremiah 17:9 tells us that the heart is deceitful above all things, which means that our hearts cannot be trusted because they are full of sin. The words of Jeremiah 17:9 are counter-cultural because the 21^st century is focused on the manifesto of being “true to yourself” and “following your heart.”

Later that night, Sarah collects Jeremiah from his hospital room, and rather than have him go back to the cult, she clutches his hand, and they walk off into the world in their hospital gowns. The final scene is of Sarah and Jeremiah driving away.
