Jeremiah 17:7-9
International Standard Version
7 Blessed is the person who trusts in the Lord,
making the Lord his trust.
8 He will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by a stream.
He won’t fear when the heat comes,
and his leaves will be green.
In a year of drought he won’t be concerned,
nor will he stop producing fruit.”
The Deceitfulness of the Human Heart
9 “The heart is more deceitful than anything.
It is incurable—
who can know 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.
Who can understand it?
