Jeremiah 17:6-8

Common English Bible

⁶ They will be like a desert shrub
    that doesn’t know when relief comes.
They will live in the parched places of the wilderness,
    in a barren land where no one survives.
⁷ Happy are those who trust in the Lord,
    who rely on the Lord.
⁸ They will be like trees planted by the streams,
    whose roots reach down to the water.
They won’t fear drought when it comes;
    their leaves will remain green.
They won’t be stressed in the time of drought
    or fail to bear fruit.
