Jeremiah 17:7-9
EasyEnglish Bible
7 The Lord blesses people who trust in him.
They know that the Lord will help them.
8 They will be like trees that grow beside a river.
Their roots reach into the water.
When the sun is hot, they are not afraid.
Their leaves continue to be green.
They give fruit each year,
even when there is no rain.
9 A person's own mind deceives him,
more than anything else does.
Nobody can change it to be better.
Nobody completely understands it.
Jeremiah 17:7-9
New International Version
7 “But blessed(A) is the one who trusts(B) in the Lord,
whose confidence is in him.
8 They will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.(C)
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought(D)
and never fails to bear fruit.”(E)
9 The heart(F) is deceitful above all things
and beyond cure.
