Jeremiah 17:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷But I will bless those
    who trust me, the Lord.
⁸^(A) They will be like trees
    growing beside a stream—
trees with roots that reach
    down to the water,
and with leaves
    that are always green.
They bear fruit every year
and are never worried
    by a lack of rain.

⁹You people of Judah
are so deceitful
that you even fool yourselves,
and you can't change.
