Daily Bible Verse - 9/6/2007 - Jeremiah 17:7

NIV But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
whose confidence is in him.
KJV Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
NASB Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD
And whose trust is the LORD.
Jeremiah 17:7
Commentary
Jeremiah contrasted the person who experiences barrenness (vv. 5,6) with the one who receives blessing (vv. 7,8). The difference in attitude is in "trust" placed in man or "trust" vested in the Lord (vv. 5,7).
