Jeremiah 17:8

---

← Jeremiah 17:7	Jeremiah 17:8 (KJV)	Jeremiah 17:9 →
Blessed [is] the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.	For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and [that] spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.	The heart [is] deceitful above all [things], and desperately wicked: who can know it?
