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.

The verse 8 is found in chapter 17 of Jeremiah. Judah’s sin is engraved on its heart, not merely recorded in external actions. The contrast between one who trusts in humanity and one who trusts in Yahweh uses images of a dry shrub versus a tree planted beside waters. Jeremiah asks for justice against his persecutors and reaffirms that God examines the heart.
