Popular Bible Verses from Jeremiah 17

Share

The LORD blesses people who trust in him. They know that the LORD will help them. They will be like trees that grow beside a river. Their roots reach into the water. When the sun is hot, they are not afraid. Their leaves continue to be green. They give fruit each year, even when there is no rain.

A person's own mind deceives him, more than anything else does. Nobody can change it to be better. Nobody completely understands it.

But I, the LORD, look inside a person's mind. I see what he thinks and what he feels. I see how everyone lives, and I see the things that they do. I give to each one what he deserves.

The LORD says, ‘I will curse those who only trust people to help them. They think that human strength will save them, and they turn away from me, the LORD. They will be like a bush that grows in the desert. It grows in a place where nobody can live. The ground is very dry and is spoiled by salt. Even when good times come, those people will not receive any good thing.

LORD, please make me well again. Then I will be completely well. Rescue me so that I am completely safe. You are the one that I praise!
