Jeremiah 17:7

But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in Him.

Majority Standard Bible

In The King James Version

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

In Context

6He will be like a shrub in the desert; he will not see when prosperity comes. He will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no one lives.

8He is like a tree planted by the waters that sends out its roots toward the stream. It does not fear when the heat comes, and its leaves are always green. It does not worry in a year of drought, nor does it cease to produce fruit.
