Jeremiah 17:8

וְהָיָה כְּעֵץ ׀ שָׁתוּל עַל ־ מַיִם וְעַל ־ יוּבַל יְשַׁלַּח שָֽׁרָשָׁיו וְלֹא ירא כִּֽי ־ יָבֹא חֹם וְהָיָה עָלֵהוּ רַֽעֲנָן וּבִשְׁנַת בַּצֹּרֶת לֹא יִדְאָג וְלֹא יָמִישׁ מֵעֲשׂוֹת פֶּֽרִי ׃

Hebrew Tanakh (Original)

In The King James Version

For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
