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.
I test the1 mind,
bEven to give every man according to his ways,
According to the fruit of his doings.
So is he who gets riches, but not by right;
It awill leave him in the midst of his days,
And at his end he will be ba fool.”
| << Jeremiah 17:8 | Jeremiah 17:10 >> |
