Jeremiah 17:6-8
Good News Translation
6 He is like a bush in the desert,
which grows in the dry wasteland,
on salty ground where nothing else grows.
Nothing good ever happens to him.
7 “But I will bless the person
who puts his trust in me.
8 (A)He is like a tree growing near a stream
and sending out roots to the water.
It is not afraid when hot weather comes,
because its leaves stay green;
it has no worries when there is no rain;
it keeps on bearing fruit.
Jeremiah 17:6-8
New International Version
6 That person will be like a bush in the wastelands;
they will not see prosperity when it comes.
They will dwell in the parched places(A) of the desert,
in a salt(B) land where no one lives.
7 “But blessed(C) is the one who trusts(D) in the Lord,
whose confidence is in him.
8 They will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.(E)
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought(F)
and never fails to bear fruit.”(G)
