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.”
bAll who forsake You shall be ashamed.
“Those who depart from Me
Shall be cwritten in the earth,
Because they have forsaken the Lord,
The dfountain of living waters.”
