King James Version (KJV)
Jeremiah 17:7
“Blessed [is] the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.”
Verse in context — Jeremiah 17
Thus saith the LORD; Cursed [be] the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, [in] a salt land and not inhabited.
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?
