Jeremiah 17:6-8
International Children’s Bible
6 They are like a bush in a desert.
It grows in a land where no one lives.
It is in a hot and dry land with bad soil.
They don’t know about the good things that God can give.
7 “But the person who trusts in the Lord will be blessed.
The Lord will show him that he can be trusted.
8 He will be strong, like a tree planted near water.
That tree has large roots that find the water.
It is not afraid when the days are hot.
Its leaves are always green.
It does not worry in a year when no rain comes.
That tree always produces fruit.”

Jeremiah 17:6-8
New International Version
6 That person will be like a bush in the wastelands;
they will not see prosperity when it comes.
They will dwell in the parched places(A) of the desert,
in a salt(B) land where no one lives.
7 “But blessed(C) is the one who trusts(D) in the Lord,
whose confidence is in him.
8 They will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.(E)
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought(F)
and never fails to bear fruit.”(G)
