Jeremiah 17:5-8

5ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: CursedH779 is the manH120 that trusteth in manH120, and maketh fleshH1320 his armH2220, and whose heartH3820 departeth from Jehovah. 6For he shall beH1961 like the heath in the desertH6160, and shall not seeH7200 when goodH2896 cometh, but shall inhabitH3427 the parched places in the wildernessH4057, a salt landH776 and not inhabitedH3427. 7BlessedH1288 is the manH1397 that trusteth in Jehovah, and whose trustH982 Jehovah is. 8For he shall beH1961 as a treeH6086 plantedH8362 by the watersH4325, that spreadeth out its rootsH8328 by the river, and shall not fearH3372 when heatH2527 cometh, but its leafH5929 shall beH1961 green; and shall not beH1961 careful in the yearH8141 of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruitH6529.
