Jeremiah 17:7-9

International Children’s Bible

⁷ “But the person who trusts in the Lord will be blessed.
    The Lord will show him that he can be trusted.
⁸ He will be strong, like a tree planted near water.
    That tree has large roots that find the water.
It is not afraid when the days are hot.
    Its leaves are always green.
It does not worry in a year when no rain comes.
    That tree always produces fruit.”

⁹ “More than anything else, a person’s mind is evil.
    It cannot be healed.
    Who can understand it?
