Jeremiah 17:7-9

71Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord And whose 2trust is the Lord.8For he will be like a 3tree planted by the water, That extends its roots by a stream And will not fear when the heat comes; But its leaves will be green, And it will not be anxious in a year of 4drought Nor cease to yield fruit.

9“The 5heart is more 6deceitful than all else And is desperately 7sick; Who can understand it?
