Jeremiah 17:7-9

New Century Version

⁷ “But the person who trusts in the Lord will be blessed.
    The Lord will show him that he can be trusted.
⁸ He will be strong, like a tree planted near water
    that sends its roots by a stream.
It is not afraid when the days are hot;
    its leaves are always green.
It does not worry in a year when no rain comes;
    it always produces fruit.

⁹ “More than anything else, a person’s mind is evil
    and cannot be healed.
    Who can understand it?
