Jeremiah 17:6-8
Lexham English Bible
6 And he will be like a juniper in the wilderness,[a]
and he will not see when good comes,
and he will dwell in the parched places in the desert,[b]
in a land of salt flats,[c] where no one lives.
7 Blessed be the person who trusts in Yahweh,
and Yahweh is his trust.
8 For he will be like a tree planted by water,
and to the stream it sends its roots,
and it will not fear when heat comes,
and its leaves[d] will be luxuriant,
and in the year of drought it will not be anxious,
and it will not cease from the bearing of 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)
