    He cannot see goodness when it comes,
    but will dwell in parched places in the wilderness—
        a salt land where no one lives.

        but its leaves will be green.
    It does not worry in a year of drought,
    nor depart from yielding fruit.

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