Jeremiah 17

World English Bible (WEB)

7 Ref Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose trust Yahweh is.

8 Ref For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

9 Ref The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?

Bible in Basic English (BBE)

7 Ref A blessing is on the man who puts his faith in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.

8 Ref For he will be like a tree planted by the waters, pushing out its roots by the stream; he will have no fear when the heat comes, but his leaf will be green; in a dry year he will have no care, and will go on giving fruit.

9 Ref The heart is a twisted thing, not to be searched out by man: who is able to have knowledge of it?
