SinaiJeremiah 17:8
World English Bible
For he will be as a tree planted by the waters,
who spreads out its roots by the river,
and will not fear when heat comes,
but its leaf will be green,

Jeremiah 17:8 in context
- 6For he will be like a bush in the desert,
and will not see when good comes,
but will inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
an uninhabited salt land. - 7“Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh,
and whose confidence is in Yahweh. - 8For he will be as a tree planted by the waters,
who spreads out its roots by the river,
and will not fear when heat comes,
but its leaf will be green,
and will not be concerned in the year of drought.
It won’t cease from yielding fruit. - 9The heart is deceitful above all things
and it is exceedingly corrupt.
Who can know it? - 10“I, Yahweh, search the mind.
I try the heart,
even to give every man according to his ways,
according to the fruit of his doings.”
