Jeremiah 17:7-9

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁷ Blessed are those who trust in the Lord,
    whose trust is the Lord.
⁸ They shall be like a tree planted by water,
    sending out its roots by the stream.
It shall not fear when heat comes,
    and its leaves shall stay green;
in the year of drought it is not anxious,
    and it does not cease to bear fruit.

⁹ The heart is devious above all else;
    it is perverse—
    who can understand it?
