Jeremiah 17:7

Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and the Lord will be his trust.

Leeser Tanakh

In The King James Version

Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.

In Context

6And he shall be like a lonely tree in the desert, which feeleth not when the good cometh; but abideth in the parched places in the wilderness, in a salty land which cannot be inhabited.

8And he shall be like a tree that is planted by the waters, and by a stream spreadeth out its roots, which feeleth not when heat cometh, but its leaf remaineth green; and in a year of drought it is undisturbed by care, and ceaseth not from yielding fruit.
