Jeremiah 17:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ “But I will bless anyone who trusts in me.
    I will do good things for the person who depends on me.
⁸ They will be like a tree planted near water.
    It sends out its roots beside a stream.
It is not afraid when heat comes.
    Its leaves are always green.
It does not worry when there is no rain.
    It always bears fruit.”

⁹ A human heart is more dishonest than anything else.
    It can’t be healed.
    Who can understand it?
