Jeremiah 17:6-8

International Standard Version

⁶ He will be like a bush in the desert,
    and he won’t see when good comes.
He will dwell in parched places in the wilderness,^[a]
    a land of salt, without inhabitants.
⁷ Blessed is the person who trusts in the Lord,
    making the Lord his trust.
⁸ He will be like a tree planted by the water
    that sends out its roots by a stream.
He won’t fear when the heat comes,
    and his leaves will be green.
In a year of drought he won’t be concerned,
    nor will he stop producing fruit.”
