Jeremiah 17
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
7 Ref Blessed `is' the man who trusteth in Jehovah, And whose confidence hath been Jehovah.
8 Ref And hath been as a tree planted by waters, And by a rivulet he sendeth forth his roots, And he doth not see when heat cometh, And his leaf hath been green, And in a year of dearth he is not sorrowful, Nor doth he cease from making fruit.
9 Ref Crooked `is' the heart above all things, And it `is' incurable -- who doth know it?
American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)
7 Ref Blessed is the man that trusteth in Jehovah, and whose trust Jehovah is.
8 Ref For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, that spreadeth out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat cometh, 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?
