Mark 4:17

MSG

NIV

17 But there is such shallow soil of character that when the emotions wear off and some difficulty arrives, there is nothing to show for it.
17 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.
