Question 7

Jeremiah 17:5-8

Answer 7

He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness
in an uninhabited salt land.

Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
whose trust is the Lord.
He is like a tree planted by water,

for its leaves remain green,
and is not anxious in the year of drought,
for it does not cease to bear fruit."
