Jeremiah 17:7-9

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁷ “^(A)Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord
And whose ^(B)trust is the Lord.
⁸ “For he will be like a ^(C)tree planted by the water,
That extends its roots by a stream
And will not fear when the heat comes;
But its leaves will be green,
And it will not be anxious in a year of ^(D)drought
Nor cease to yield fruit.

⁹ “The ^(E)heart is more ^(F)deceitful than all else
And is desperately ^(G)sick;
Who can understand it?
