whose hope is in the Lord his God,

Jeremiah 17:7-8

17:7 My blessing is on those people who trust in me,

who put their confidence in me. 11 

17:8 They will be like a tree planted near a stream

whose roots spread out toward the water.

It has nothing to fear when the heat comes.

Its leaves are always green.

It has no need to be concerned in a year of drought.

It does not stop bearing fruit.

tn Or “[source of] help.”

tn Heb “and their shield.”

tn Heb “for with the Lord [is] loyal love.”

10 tn Heb “and abundantly with him [is] redemption.”

11 tn Heb “Blessed is the person who trusts in the Lord, and whose confidence is in the Lord.” However, because this is a statement of the Lord and the translation chooses to show that the blessing comes from him, the first person is substituted for the divine name.
