6 For he shall be alike a shrub in the desert,
And bshall not see when good comes,
But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
cIn a salt land which is not inhabited.

But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
cIn a salt land which is not inhabited.
8 For he shall be alike a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not1 fear 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.

According to the fruit of his doings.
