^16 (A)His roots are dried out below,
And his branch withers above.

³ He shall be like a tree
^(A)Planted by the ^[a]rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall ^(B)prosper.

⁸ For he shall be ^(A)like a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not ^[a]fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit.
