Jeremiah 17:7

Blessed is the man who trusteth in Jehovah; Who in Jehovah placeth his hope!

Noyes Bible

In The King James Version

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

In Context

6He shall be like a poor wanderer in the desert, Who seeth not when good cometh, But dwelleth in the parched places of the desert, In a salt land, and uninhabited.

8He shall be like a tree planted by the water-side, That spreadeth out her roots by the stream, That feeleth not when the heat cometh, But whose leaf is green; That careth not in the year of drought, Nor ceaseth from yielding fruit.
