Jeremiah 17 verse 5 Thus says the LORD: "Cursed [is] the man who trusts in man And makes flesh his strength, Whose heart departs from the LORD.
Jer 17:6 For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, And shall not see when good comes, But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, [In] a salt land [which is] not inhabited.


Jer 17:7 "Blessed [is] the man who trusts in the LORD, And whose hope is the LORD.
Jer 17:8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear [fn] when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.


I will trust upon the Lord,
The river shall meet my roots,
In years of drought, the heats ignored,
My fruit will yield new shoots.

Most of the time he was strong,
Most of the time he thought on what he wanted,
So at times his life was dry,
Living in a wilderness of non friends,
He was hopeful he would see pleasant times.
Nope.
