    and shall not see when relief comes.
They shall live in the parched places of the wilderness,
    in an uninhabited salt land.

    whose trust is the Lord.
They shall be like a tree planted by water,

in the year of drought it is not anxious,
    and it does not cease to bear fruit.

It has no worries in a year of drought(F)
    and never fails to bear fruit.”(G)
