Jeremiah 17:6-8

New Catholic Bible

⁶ Such a person is like a shrub in the desert;
    when relief comes, he will not be aware of it.
He will continue to live
    in the parched areas of the desert,
    in an uninhabited salt land.
⁷ Blessed are those who trust in the Lord
    and whose hope is the Lord.
⁸ They will be like a tree planted by the water
    that spreads out its roots to the stream.
When the heat comes, it does not fear;
    its leaves stay green.
It is not concerned in a year of drought,
    and it never fails to bear fruit.
